(Jed has always loved Sprite :) ) We didn’t need Jed to use words for us to see that he was delighted. Until my mom ordered my brother a large waffle fry and small Sprite from Chick-Fil-A. Many days my mother would tirelessly go to the store or different food vendors in hopes that she could find something Jed would eat without getting sick or being upset. My brother is considered “non-verbal” although he has a few words he communicates with, we are able to understand him without the use of words.

Regardless, he was still the perfect boy we knew him as. He was in and out of the hospital for asthma attacks, and he was underweight. Already having 5 other children, my mom did everything she could to make sure he received the accommodations and doctors he needed, but she couldn’t have planned for his steep decline in health in 2022. When my brother was diagnosed with severe autism in 2019, we knew that we were the perfect family for this little boy to be born into. You might imagine that my mother loves Chick-Fil-A, but not as much as my little brother. Over the course of the past 2 years or so, my mom has gone through the Chick-Fil-A drive thru 2 times a day Monday-Friday and 3 times a day on Saturday. Not sure if anyone actually reads these messages, but I want to share my story about who I believe to be your most valued customer. Slowly, his list of safe foods he would eat dropped to just one… Chick-Fil-A waffle fries. Make gifts even more personal with these custom wooden gift tags These festive tags arent only cute. The challenges of both made eating foods very difficult and painful for him. My youngest son is autistic and also has a rare immune system disease called EoE. A few months ago, my daughter Hayden decided to write a message to Chick-Fil-A corporate about her brother.
