@nicolegottesmann1: Gabe is a nonspeaking autistic teen who has been working with @benintonatoroccoup to learn how to swim! Now he can put his head under water! This is huge! #autism #nonspeaking #swimming #nonverbalautism @nicolegottesmann
That coach is incredible, I love how he made sure they hyped him up in the beginning.

I love how everything about this was a party & a cheering squad. Vibes are all positive, adding to his self esteem and courage to do the next hard thing. Then when he does it? Everyone cheers & recognizes the big win! Gosh I want this myself on this days when I have to tackle hard things myself… and who doesn’t want that encouragement?! Awesome to see. 🥰
