Dylan's Interests: Dylan lives an active and full life. One of Dylan's favorite classes in high school is the Visual Imaging class. His mother Donna Yates shares that, "Dylan loves swimming, bowling, plays indoor soccer with a special needs group and can play the piano."
Dylan's Heroes: Temple Grandin (Autism Light #38) once gave helpful advice to Dylan's mother about the importance of finding one's strength and getting a mentor for that skill. "None of this would be happening without the support of Dylan's teacher Anna Lukezich and Dylan's para-pro Deb Jablonski," says Donna Yates.
