Gabriel’s Perfect Week
Gabriel, a 13-year-old with level 3 severe autism, experienced a dream come true during a magical trip to Disney World with his family. This special week allowed Gabriel and his family to enjoy all the parks had to offer and created amazing unforgettable memories.
Thank you from Gabriel’s Family
Gabriel’s mom expressed immense gratitude, saying, We are so grateful that we were selected for Gabriel’s dream. Gabe absolutely loved going to Florida and especially enjoyed eating with Mickey Mouse at Chef Mickey’s. Disney World and Universal Orlando were both amazing parks. All the staff were extremely helpful and supported Gabe during his visit to the theme parks.”
Gabriel’s Diagnosis
Gabriel is diagnosed with level 3 severe autism. Level 3 autism, also known as severe autism, is the most significant level of autism spectrum disorder.
