Tyler, a non-speaker with autism and whole body apraxia; he was misunderstood for most of his life.  At the age of 21 he was introduced to S2C/Spelling to Communicate - and everything changed.  He found his voice.  He is now able to advocate for himself and wants to help others.  

Surfing, private art lessons, cooking, working out with a personal trainer, going to college - are just the beginning.  

Tyler wants to use his art to help others find their voice as well.  With the help of his mom, letterboards have been added to some of the designs, but notecards and art prints are also available and will include his story.  

Tyler's blog will be his personal insights and experiences related to autism, poems or stories he has written, and he will answer questions people have about autism and apraxia.  ]]></description><link>https://www.tylers-messy-life-studio-and-blog.com/blog</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 11 Sep 2026 11:16:59 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://www.tylers-messy-life-studio-and-blog.com/blog-feed.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><item><title><![CDATA[The Gig is UP!]]></title><description><![CDATA[THE FAILURE OF THE SUPPORT AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES IN BOTH SUPPORTING AND EDUCATING US, OR HAVING EVEN THE SLIGHTEST IDEA ABOUT HOW TO HELP US OR OUR FAMILIES OUR FAMILIES ARE PROVIDED INACCURATE INFORMATION FROM DAY ONE.

MY FAMILY WILL ATTEST TO THE CHANGES.  PRIOR TO SPELLING I WAS A PHYSICAL DANGER TO MY FAMILY AND MYSELF.  FRUSTRATION AND DESTRUCTION FILLED MY DAYS AS A YOUNG ADULT, THE REALITY OF MY LIFE WAS SETTING IN.  THE MORE I TRIED TO CONTROL MYSELF, THE MORE OUT OF CONTROL I BECAME.
