Elijah has high functioning autism. He loves adventures, camping and fishing. His happy place is being outdoors with a campfire & s'mores!

Elijah loves to hear the birds chirping. He loves to be by the lake and fish. He loves when he gets to see a bear near their campsite when they go camping. Elijah is the oldest of 6 siblings, so he gets to be a leader, and loves protecting his sisters and brothers on their camping trips.
Elijah loves snakes and turtles the most. He likes to watch them go into their shells. He likes to collect the eggs from his chickens, and has tamed a few roosters with his gentle character. His resilience is amazing! His favorite animal is an elephant although he's never been close to one besides the zoo.
Elijah likes to play tag with his friends. He loves P.E. at his new school called Casas Christian School in Tucson AZ. He loves to climb trees. His favorite is still fishing!
