Axel was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder when he was about 4 yrs old. Life was overwhelming as Axel struggled with sensory issues, hyperactivity, brain fog, challenging behavior, and limited verbal ability.
With the guidance of a really good holistic Autism specialist, we were able to slowly bring Axel back from the haze of Autism with proper nutrition, biomedical treatment, chelation, essential oils and natural supplements, sensory integration and other therapies. Today, Axel continues to show improvement - he is thriving in homeschool, enjoys family fun trips, and loves handcrafting each Axel Can Do It shirt. Because Axel Can Do It shirts are not just ordinary shirts - they are handcrafted with much joy and are gentle reminders of God’s love and truth. We hope it will touch the hearts of many … may you help us spread the word!
