Imagine bringing your beautiful child into the world and watching as he progresses normally with all milestones being met. Then somewhere between 1 ½ and 2 years of age……everything changes. Your precious child is kidnapped; not his physical body, but his brain. The doctor says it is Autism. Now what do you do? How do you prepare?
Shante Nicole and husband, Chris Superville will share the story of their beautiful son, Dylan and how learning how to get through to Dylan became their mission in life. It is truly a story of destiny, love, laughter, triumph, and the answer to a calling.
Learn how their journey led them to form the organization F.A.C.E., which gives the caregivers of all special needs children that much needed respite for several hours one Saturday each month.
How many times have you witnessed a parent who seemingly had no control over their child and think “If that was my child, I would……,” or “Why can’t they control that child?” How many times while flying or using public transportation did you throw that parent a certain look and think “Why can’t they shut that child up?” Would you believe that many people actually speak these words to the caregivers?
When it comes to Autism, it is not that simple. Neither does Autism have an obvious physical appearance that will allow the casual observer to see that the caregiver has an Autistic child.
Hopefully this episode will raise Autism awareness and increase the sensitivity levels of the general populace when witnessing what some deem as unruly children. Although this episode is about Autism, this also applies to all children with special needs and their caregivers.
Shanté and Chris will amaze you when they help explain Autism from their beautiful son Dylan’s perspective. You will be forever changed.

Dr. Shane Perrault, also known as “Dr. Shane” is a leading Psychologist, Author, Speaker and Founder of the African American Marriage Counseling Organization and is a highly sought after Life Coach and Speaker on issues relating to relationships, marriages and ADHD.
Dr. Shane shares his views about infidelity, what it is, why it occurs, and most importantly what happens after an affair is revealed. He talks about the three stages the hurt partner will experience after an affair is revealed.
1. Atone – Involves the reactions (emotional, physical, neurological) that will occur after learning about the affair.
2. Atune – The hurt partner reviews his or her options to stay or leave the relationship.
3. Attach – The couple reconnects to start the process of rebuilding their relationship.
Dr. Shane states that the hurt partner is the only one who should make the decision to stay or leave the relationship and the worse thing the unfaithful partner can do is try to rush the decision-making and ask them to “get over it.”
