Hi I'm Olivia, my whole life has revolved around special needs as both my sister and my father have been deaf, legally blind since birth, as well as being on the Austin Spectrum. This is nothing new to me and I find uniqueness a great gift to be celebrated not discouraged or looked down upon. I hope to meet your loved ones. :)
