This story hit close to home all 3 of my children have been diagnosed with autism. My middle child Alex has apraxia of speech and like Connor needs an AAC to communicate. We are blessed enough to have good enough health coverage along with wonderful people that work with him that pushed us through the paper work to get him his. I wish Connor the best of luck in his ability to adapt and overcome the adversity he is faced with.

My son Brendan has Asperger’s. This story really warms the heart! I know how tough it can be to be in this type of position, and how overwhelmingly good it can feel to receive a gift of caring like this. Congrats to Connor and his Dad! How awesome this is! And to the donors, WAY TO GO!!!

I am a special ed art teacher in an all special ed public school. I have students a lot like Connor, and kids with all kinds of conditions – great kids, all of them! I use geocaching a lot in class; it is supported by district, state, and national standards! I’ve met awesome people through GC-ing – what a cool hobby!

AWESOME too read this article. I am so happy too hear that Connor got what he needed!

We LOVE geocaching and we do this as a team with my 7 year old ASD son and his autism service dog. We cache as CherieAutismMom from Wiarton, Ontario Canada!

My son is autistic but not to the extent of Connor. A great story and I’m going to track that software down (android equivalent anyone?) So more kudos to you all you’ve helped another child.

I like he story for a number of reasons: It shows the power of IT solutions of cause, but moreover it tells what kind of community we got.

An amazing story, showing that geocaching is more than just a fun outdoor activity !
I'm glad Connor likes the iPad, my kids also love to play with it (and so does their dad…).

That is so awesome!!! It's refreshing to hear of people doing good things nowadays instead of the constant barrage of garbage that we hear. This is a heart warmer. Insurance companies should take note- what if it were one of their children (the execs) and they needed this expensive piece just to communicate everyday words? Bet it would be covered then. God Bless you folks for being so giving!!
