My Advice: Get Up, Get Active, & Train Smart
When I was asked to share my story, I jumped on the opportunity. I’m a firm believer that knowledge is power, and I hope my message will motivate or, at least, spark curiosity to learn what it means to live an “active, healthy lifestyle.” I will share information based upon my life experiences and what I’ve seen work for others as well as myself.

I first learned my son, Tanner, had autism at 12-years-old. After many previous misdiagnoses, fear and worry consumed my heart every single second of every day. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states “Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain…People with ASD may behave, communicate, interact, and learn in ways that are different from most other people. There is often nothing about how they look that sets them apart from other people.” Even though Tanner looks like everyone around him, I wondered what his future would hold and how, in our busy lives, …

We knew that something wasn’t quite right. So, we started Gunner …
