Alexandra’s Disney Cruise Adventure
Eleven-year-old Alexandra, with low-functioning autism, had a magical time cruising the sea with her favorite characters. Alexandra wished to have a fun-filled stay at Disney’s cruise line. Sunshine Foundation and generous sponsors were able to make Alexandra’s dream come true.

Alexandra’s Diagnosis
The CDC defines autism spectrum disorder as “a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges.” Autism is a spectrum and looks different for every person. Individuals with the most severe type of autism spectrum disorder are referred to as having low-functioning autism.
