Casy is an active and tireless worker for her pageant platform, “Autism Speaks: It’s Your Time to Listen.” Her six-year-old niece has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a group of developmental learning disabilities which affect one in 150 U.S. children and can cause significant social, communication, and behavioral challenges. Casy was recently chosen as the official Cobb County spokesperson for the group Autism Speaks. For the past two years, she has organized the group’s “Walk for Autism” on the GSU campus, raising awareness of the disease and funds for research. Casy has spoken to the Georgia State Senate, encouraging legislators to pass a bill to increase insurance benefits for families facing the daunting task of raising a child with ASD. She has combined her love of dance with her passion for helping autistic children by going into classrooms and teaching dance to children with ASD, which helps them cope with class restraints while giving them an outlet to express themselves creatively.
