Layla is 10, nearly 11, though she’s so tall people often think she’s much older. She’s autistic with ADHD and a PDA profile, and right now she’s learning that she doesn’t need to mask or change herself to fit in — that who she is, just as she is, is enough. School and friendships can be really hard for her, and she works so incredibly hard every day, even when it doesn’t show on the outside. She has the biggest passions: she’s completely obsessed with Hamilton and SIX, loves crafting and making things, and finds so much joy in dancing and learning new routines. She has the most beautiful bond with our puppy Cooper, who she adores, and she loves animals with her whole heart. Layla treasures her two best friends deeply and is a loving big sister to Luna, who is autistic too. She is kind, creative, sensitive, and extraordinary — and I am so proud of her❤️
