Myla Meets her Idols at Disney World
Myla, with level 3 severe autism, had the time of her life when she met the princesses of Walt Disney World. She was in seventh heaven and all at once, all of her dreams came true when she and her sister were able to meet them.
Thank you from Myla’s Family
“Thank you, Sunshine Foundation, for this opportunity for my family. Myla was in her glory while on vacation. It truly was a wonderful experience and our whole family had a blast. Myla and her sister’s favorite part was meeting all the princesses. You made our whole family’s dreams come true.” – Myla’s Mom
Myla’s Diagnosis
Myla has level 3 severe autism which is characterized by severe challenges in social communication as well as extremely inflexible behavior. Children with level 3 autism are nonverbal and have the use of only a few words of intelligible speech.
