4.1.25. APRIL FAMILY OF THE MONTH: From our Executive Director:
I’m Kelsey, and this is my family. Our son, Camden received his Level II ASD & Language Delay diagnosis from Brainpower during Covid in 2020.
My husband & I battled infertility for three years, and lost five babies before Cam was born. Receiving Camden’s diagnosis knocked the wind out of me, and it changed me as a person, and a parent.
Camden was nonverbal for three years. He has overcome a lot of challenges. He currently only eats 7 things and really struggles with food in general, as well as crowds, loud noises, and advocating for himself. He is very quiet until he trusts you! Camden loves golf, math, airplanes, dinosaurs, drawing, the beach house, his Nana & Papa, & car washes. He is very kind and is big on following the rules.
His sister has been instrumental in Camden reaching milestones, like getting dressed by himself, and she’s done it without knowing, as she is neurotypical.
We’ve taught her that her brother’s brain is different than hers, and he needs extra help, which is why he attends therapy weekly. **Just like everyone has different colored eyes and hair, everyone has a brain that works differently, too.**
My husband works for a hospital at the national level.
It’s an honor and a pleasure to serve as your executive director on behalf of Autism Evansville! We have big dreams for our organization, and we are doing all we can to ensure those dreams become reality in the coming years.
3.31.25. We are ecstatic to announce our full list of 2025 sponsors for our fundraising event: Taking Steps For Autism Walk & 5K, presented by Field & Main Bank and 14 NEWS.

**Just like everyone has different colored eyes and hair, everyone has a brain that works differently, too.**
My husband works for a hospital at the national level.
It is important for me to bring compassion to the families we serve, something my own family hasn’t always received. 🩷
Learning to advocate for my son unknowingly prepared me to advocate for you – families in our community who are also raising their loved one on the autism spectrum.
It’s an honor and a pleasure to serve as your executive director on behalf of Autism Evansville! We have big dreams for our organization, and we are doing all we can to ensure those dreams become reality in the coming years.
Thank you for letting us serve you! ... See MoreSee Less
