Jordan Lee Ikitule

He's seven.

Most people know it as non-verbal, but

he doesn't say any type of words so communication is more like frequency between me and my son it's like sort of that like vibration sort of buzz and even though we don't communicate like in speaking like it's it's

You're talking about Yeah Which is Which is hard as well Because especially When he goes through A lot of hard times Like There's a lot of stuff That he misses out on Even for me Like I own A dance company Called Express Yourself And

He just always wants to have a jam, but it's just, like, there's a lot of times I've had to, like, pull him away, and he just looks at me in the eyes, and he's like, you know, I can see he's saying, like, why, Dad, or, like, why I want to do this type of stuff too, so there's a whole lot of that stuff, but I would say, like, yeah, frequency is the best way, and he does, like, a lot of stuff.

He's a daddy's boy, bro.

Yeah, he's always wanting to come with me and do stuff, and

i'm always doing like a lot of stuff and yeah if it's like building i don't know like you know like typical dad you know you just partner saves like oh can you fix this or do this he's always trying to like help yeah yeah he's trying to do that um but the the reality is there's so many limitations for him which is which is sad for me because i'm always taking my daughter to like netball trainings and dance trainings and

it's just like no sort of limits but with my son it's just like oh you know like I'm always having to say like oh sorry son and like even though he doesn't respond back physically I I know that he understands yeah I know that he understands but it's yeah that's scary as well because sometimes he could be having a meltdown but it's as simple as like his um his toy like fell under the

This area And he's like crying But he Because he can't get those words out Or like say what he needs That sort of stuff How exhausting is that bro?

That's exhausting I couldn't even imagine I couldn't even That's exhausting because like He's also like a runner So like runners bro They just go So I was like I created this thing called

awesome reconnect which is like a qr code connected to kids so like we printed on their clothing and i went on i've been on tedx to like talk about it really yeah because they were like we've seen this and i was like because i'm like a solutions daddy like anything i can do so he is a runner wait so you made it yeah

You may Yes, I made.

We started our own clothing brand called awesome kids and I wanted in my 14 countries and wow, our first like two hours of like we've been live for like 5k in sales and wow.

I had no idea what I was doing.

Like, no stock or anything.

So that's been a learning curve.

But, yeah, TEDx invited me to speak there, and it was more so just about the QR, like, our QR code.

So he went missing one time with my mother-in-law.

Police found him.
