Linda’s Love Letter to Our Rockin’ Families

Hello and welcome,

My name is Linda, and I’m not just the founder of Rockin’ The Spectrum—I’m a mom to a beautiful daughter with severe autism. She is now an adult, nonverbal, and requires care around the clock. Like so many of you, I’ve lived through the long nights, the difficult behaviors, and the overwhelming feeling of being alone in a world that didn’t seem to have a place for families like ours.

For years, we searched for support. We tried every avenue, hoping to find somewhere that understood our struggles and respected our journey. But what we needed didn’t exist—so we decided to build it.

In July 2019, we opened Rockin’ The Spectrum, a nonprofit built by a family who understands what it means to live with autism and special needs, day in and day out. We don’t turn away behaviors. We don’t judge. And we never forget that behind every diagnosis is a person—and a family—doing their very best.

We treat our families, our staff, and our participants with the same respect and care we want for our own. Our programs were born from lived experience—shaped by years of working in classrooms, supporting IEPs, building a private special needs school in Florida, and partnering with districts that had no idea how to help “kids like ours.”

What we’ve created here is more than a program. It’s a community, a safe place, and a promise:

You are not alone.

You are seen.

And you belong here.

Thank you for letting us be part of your story.

With love and understanding,

Linda Lynn

Founder, Rockin’ The Spectrum
