My name is Dekeda (also known as "Momma Pump"), and I am the mother of a smart, spunky, beautiful brown 19 year old young woman named "Sneak". Sneak has nonspeaking autism and sensory processing disorder (SPD) and has been the inspiration for my organization and mostly everything that I do!
As a Momma, autism activist, event planner and full-time employee, I dedicate my spare time to enriching the lives of families living with autism / special needs.
I serve my community in a variety of ways...
Hugs & High Fives Everyone
The project that I have spent the past 5 months participating in for The New York Times is LIVE. This is a raw, real account of what many of us are going through. I represent the special-needs momma. We represent the special-needs family. Please take a moment to check out.

The WODIOS Mission is to share my personal journey, by having you "Walk One Day In Our Shoes" through real / raw stories of trials and triumphs endured while raising a daughter with severe non-vocal autism. The mission is to continue to promote acceptance for all people living with special needs . I also encourage an open dialogue regarding current news items regarding autism, inclusion/acceptance, and other special needs interests.
