A cause that is Personal to our Family

At The Jordan Insurance Agency, community means more than geography — it means standing with people through the moments that shape their lives. Autism awareness is deeply personal to our family. When our four-year-old son was diagnosed with Level 2 Autism and is nonverbal. That diagnosis did not change who he is — it helped us better understand how he experiences the world. This page exists to bring awareness, understanding, and trusted information to families walking a similar path.

Understanding
Autism Today

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental condition that affects communication, behavior, and social interaction. It is identified more frequently today due to improved screening, awareness, and early diagnosis. Autism is not a curable condition, but with early intervention, consistency, and support, individuals can thrive.

Different  
— Not Less

Autism is often represented by many colors because no two individuals experience it the same way. Some are verbal, some are not. Some need intensive support, others minimal assistance. What matters most is understanding that individuals with autism are different — but they are the same as all of us. They are human, capable, and deserving of understanding.

Our Family’s 
Journey

Our son’s diagnosis required us to slow down and adapt — not from fear, but from responsibility and love. ABA therapy, strong family involvement, and consistency have made a meaningful difference. This journey reinforced our belief that access to information and support changes everything.

The Role of Insurance in Autism Support

Autism-related care may include evaluations, ABA therapy, speech and occupational therapy, and long-term support. Coverage varies by state, policy, and carrier. Understanding benefits and avoiding gaps can significantly impact a child’s access to care.

Continuing a Life of Advocacy

Nearly 20 years ago, advocacy began with supporting a parent through illness. Today, that calling continues as a father advocating for his son. This page reflects that evolution and our commitment to stand alongside families.
