WHY I CREATED DOC DASH
A BEAUTIFUL DAY REVEALED
FEAR I COULDN'T IGNORE
One beautiful day, I noticed other children outside playing—but mine were inside. When I took my children to the tennis court, they still resisted.
That night, my youngest daughter asked,
“Mommy, do you know why we didn’t want to play tennis?”
“Because we saw the police and thought we were going to be shot and killed.”
Her words changed how I understood the problem. My children did not see a beautiful day. They saw danger. That moment began my commitment to replacing fear and uncertainty with preparation, communication, and a shared protocol.
THE NEED WE COULDN’T ALWAYS SEE
WHEN FEAR LOOKED
LIKE DEFIANCE
Under stress, Gabe’s expression became flat and his tone sounded forced. Authority figures sometimes interpreted his nonverbal communication as defiant or disrespectful, resulting in repeated punishment.
After further evaluation, Gabe was diagnosed with Level 1 autism. We learned that what appeared to be defiance was often fear and anxiety expressed differently. With behavioral therapy and supportive resources, he made tremendous progress understanding social cues and how others might interpret his behavior.
Gabe has graduated from high school and now drives. His DOC DASH card states:
“Be Patient With Me, Officer. I am on the
autism spectrum. I have a flat affect.”
I am grateful he has a tool that can communicate what may not be visible.
