Our Story

Parker Kahle was born in 2005. At his annual 3 year check-up, his parents heard his pediatrician say six words that forever changed their world…“I think your son has Autism.”

After many months of testing, they received the diagnosis – Pervasive Developmental Disorder – which is listed on the Autism Spectrum as one of the five forms of Autism. Parker’s treatments were delayed because of Insurance Company red tape. Desperate to create a Medical Fund to begin Parker’s treatments, his dad, David Kahle, asked a few of his band friends to perform at a benefit for Parker. The event was such a success that they decided to continue it to help other families. Fifteen years ago, David Kahle decided to combine his passion for music, his love for his son and his generous support of the community – and Autism Rocks was born.
