Am I Autistic?

Brittany / February 19, 2023

“Am I autistic?” I knew there would be a day when Sawyer would realize he was different than other kids.

Chicken Nugs and Mama Hugs was created out of the desire to spread autism awareness and acceptance through sharing our experiences as an autism family.

Our goal is to help share support and resources with families like ours. ♥

Causes We Love

Vanderbilt Kennedy Center is a very special place to our family. It’s where Sawyer was first diagnosed with autism, and it was through their incredible programs and research that he first received the therapy he needed to thrive. Our current political administration has pulled funding that pays for progams and services that help families like ours. Please consider donating to VKC to help others continue to receive the vital programs and services needed to help them succeed.
