A father and son from Prescott are celebrating this Father's Day weekend for a plethora of reasons. Eric Weaver’s son Austin was born on Father's Day nearly 26 years ago. He was a happy, healthy baby, however, everything seemed to change when he turned 2 years old.
“At 2 years old, he was able to talk, but then all of a sudden he wasn’t able to talk, he was all smiles and then he wasn’t all smiles,” said Eric. Doctors diagnosed Austin with autism and warned his dad he could remain nonverbal for the rest of his life. “I’ve been a trainer for 34 years and as a trainer, I don’t take no for an answer anyway, so you’re gonna tell me something like that I’m not gonna believe it, I’m gonna do what I can to turn it around,” said Eric.“Every night I got off work, we’d sit on the floor, he'd sit between my legs and I’d teach him how to read, we did 'Hooked on Phonics' every day until he could read,” said Eric.“Seeing what we have created here in this gym, I definitely have 100% pride,” said Austin.
