JACKSON
AGE 7
Meet Jackson, a grade-schooler who has a curiosity that knows no bounds! Jackson loves to explore and understand how things work, whether blowing bubbles or taking things apart. While he may take some time to warm up to new people, his lovable nature shines through once he feels comfortable. Jackson faces unique challenges as he is autistic and nonverbal. But these challenges don’t define him; they are just a part of his identity. Jackson’s family must be patient, understanding, and prepared to learn how to support his needs. He would thrive in a two-parent home, particularly one with experience raising children with special needs or a family willing to learn how to support him best.
When it comes to food, Jackson is a fan! He particularly likes mac and cheese, Spaghetti O’s, and flavored oatmeal. He also finds comfort and joy in playing with sensory toys. Jackson isn’t just a grade-schooler looking for a home; he’s a curious explorer seeking a family willing to accompany him on his unique journey of discovery. Jackson’s potential is endless, and with the right family, he can continue to grow and learn in his own special way.
