I'm Ayana Jules, a dedicated mother to my amazing son Gabriel, who is on the autism spectrum. With over 20 years of experience in the medical field, including a decade in pediatrics, I recognized early signs of autism in Gabriel when he was just six months old. To deepen my understanding, I joined the Neurology team at Nemours Children's Hospital. This invaluable experience led to Gabriel's official diagnosis through their Autism Program.
Key Highlights:
- Professional Expertise: I have over five years of experience working with autistic children and their families at Nemours Children's Hospital.
- Resourceful Researcher: I have extensively self-researched resources and services to support children on the spectrum and their parents.
- Passionate Advocate: My commitment to autism awareness inspired me to create Hidden Jules, which, in collaboration with the Global Family Support Foundation, organizes social events, provides resources, and offers education for families with children on the spectrum.
- Community Engagement: I played a pivotal role in curating the first-ever Autism Awareness event at the Pixon apartments.
