Slider is a super happy, fun loving kid who has recently been officially diagnosed with autism. As Slider gets older, he and his parents are facing more and more challenges. Two dangerous challenges they face are Slider’s wandering and choking tendencies.  This past summer Slider wandered away from home while playing outside and was half a mile down the road when stopped. Slider also tends to over stuff when eating. This past summer he was choking and his dad used the Heimlich maneuver on him. Although his parents do all they can, as Slide gets older he becomes more and more capable of getting off on his own and into dangerous situations like these. Service dogs from 4 Paws can assist with these issues.
The proceeds from the sales of these shirts will be given to the family to put toward the purchase of an Autism Assistance dog.
