Audric Newsome

What makes Audric Xtraordinary to you?

Audric was diagnosed with Fragile X syndrome at almost 4 years old. He’s now 14 and thriving!!! It’s been quite the journey but he’s led the way! His name in old English has a meaning “old wise ruler” and he truly lives up to his name! We are so proud of the young man he’s becoming!!! In his words “You’ve raised me since I was 3 and you’re still raising me.” … I think he associates his age of diagnosis to when we started raising him, lol.Anyway, he’s a pretty cool kid!! He’s a product of his generation and is an “apple device” and YouTube kinda guy. He’s an NBA genius — follows every team, knows who’s out due to injury, where they went to college, height, weight, wife, and kids’ names (if married) and the list goes on! It’s pretty impressive! He enjoys playing his PS5 and hanging out with friends. He’s an only child but has lots of cousins and is incredible with babies!!! He plays sports, rides a bike, and taught himself to swim! Audric is the kinda guy you want to have in your life! He’s empathetic and loving to his family and friends!
