Jo and Darnell Cauley had two typical children, but their third was slow to develop communications skills. that was two decades ago, when autism was a rare condition. They found little information about it and few accommodations. So they taught themselves, sought out autism experts, and read everything they could find. But they didn’t stop there.
They continued to study all emerging data about autism. Then, a decade later, they had a second son with autism. This time they were ready. Jo and Darnell have since dedicated their lives 24/7 to their sons’ education and it’s paying off. They’ve developed a system of supports for school, home, and community to be envied. The Cauleys have redefined what commitment means through their hard work, dedication, and love family. Autism Times Two is their story.
