Athletes
Chris Quigley
Meet Chris! One of our most amazing athletes with Autism! Not only is Chris a surfer, he is also Blind. Trusting each other from the very beginning we have come so far and in our groove. Some of his favorite things are Sticker, Business cards and Smooth rocks about palm size shape. His least favorite this is seaweed on his body. Chris is a sensory being and wet seaweed will literally make him vomit so we keep his exposure very limited. He is such a joy to be around and listen too the funny things that come out of him.
