Hello! My name is Sparkle and I am the founder of Autism with DJ, an advocacy project aiming to increase awareness and support families impacted by autism. Autism with DJ was created in March 2022 and is largely based on my experiences as a mother raising a child on the spectrum. My son, De’Unte Jr. (“DJ”), was diagnosed with autism and a developmental language disorder in January 2021 at the age of 3.
