Eden (12) is also extremely responsible, intelligent and connected. She also loves biking and hiking. She participates in fencing class and plays viola. She loves reading, designing on her computer, listening to podcasts and creative activities. Eden is autistic and has a lot of anxiety and often needs empathy for her overwhelm. She also is an incredible advocate for herself and really knows what she needs most of the time, she needs adults to respect her self knowledge while also encouraging her where needed.
Miri (8) is fun, adorable, a bit sassy and extremely loving. She's an 8 year old who loves snuggles and 1:1 attention. She loves gymnastics, dance, biking and time with friends. She's getting more into reading. She will definitely try to sneak an ipad if not watched.
