Luka’s Recovery From Autism
As the project manager of community development for Nourishing Hope for Autism, I had the honor of helping compile Luka’s incredibly powerful story of recovery from autism.

“They couldn’t tell us if Luka will ever be able to talk because his speech and communication were at the level of 9 months old baby.”
