Neurodiversity

Today, Olivia was evaluated by a pediatric neurologist for the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS-2). It resulted in a raw score of 43.5.

This calculated number means that Olivia, clinically, is classified to be an individual with severe autism.

In some cases, neurological disease is found to intersect with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

It isn’t an either-or, in Olivia’s case it’s both.

Olivia has a rare biological disease, and she is autistic.

She is a zebra, and a puzzle piece.

She is a multi-colored zebra...

our little rainbow zebra.

*The color variant puzzle piece is symbolic of Autism awareness.

*The zebra symbol is an international representation of a person with a rare disease.
