Jardine Nathaniel Spears was born on January 23, 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia to the parents of Hilary Oliphant and Tyrone Spears. Jardine’s infectious smile brought joy and warmth to his family on a daily basis and his personality was contiguous and so lovable. By the age of 18 months, there began a different type of shift in his personality and behavior. His lack of eye contact started to become more noticeable. It became apparent that his speech communication and his social skills began to diminish. His parents were concerned, but like most first time parents; they thought it was only a slow delay in growth like some toddlers. Subsequently, Jardine at the age of two was diagnosed with Autism. Jardine’s parents immediately got him involved in some of the most renowned programs available for Autism. Jardine began horseback riding, water therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy, which started a new journey for him and his amazing development, thus far. 

Jardine is now in his young teens and is doing amazing things as a young boy.  He enjoys karate, basketball, swimming, traveling the world, church, using his phone and ipad and much more………  His favorite food to eat is pizza.  He loves  hanging out on the golf courses; driving the golf carts with his dad!  His development has been absolutely amazing.  The support that he has from his parents, family, friends and the school system has brought him to a level that we are so blessed to see today.
