&nbsp;DAVAO CITY—On 8 December 2024, Palmer Taliño Taray, a 12-year-old boy from Davao City who has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), made history as the first autistic child to join and finish the iconic Davao-Samal Cross Channel. The swimming event, which started in Davao City and ended in Samal Island showcased Palmer's unwavering determination and remarkable journey.&nbsp;

In total, Davao City to Samal Island has a distance of 1.2 kilometers. However, the course had been challenging not only for Palmer but also for the other participants because it had a water current that made the distance almost more than 3 kilometers.&nbsp;

Palmer only started learning to swim in 2023, with no prior experience. Over the past year, his patience and determination were tested as he underwent training sessions four times a week with Master Coach Kirt Loven Murcia and Coach Kevin Palabao, to prepare him mentally and physically for the challenging swim.&nbsp;

In a message, Coach Kirt mentioned that he noticed several changes in Palmer's behavior after they started training. He said that because of regular training, the boy was able to relax underwater. He likewise shared that they faced many challenges along the way but he simply trusted the process and continued teaching Palmer, leading to this achievement.

Palmer's remarkable achievement in the recently-concluded Davao-Samal Cross Channel earned him a 'Special Swimmer Award' in recognition of his incredible feat as an autistic child, who, despite the physical and mental challenges he faced throughout the journey, succeeded in completing the demanding swimming course.&nbsp;

In an interview, Palmer's mother, Ms. Jocelyn Taliño Taray said, "The unconditional love, early acceptance, proper diet and training, as well as being surrounded by the right people, were key factors in Palmer's development. With this, I encourage other parents out there to find the right skills and talent for our kids with autism. Don't give up because everything's possible with God's grace, and our determination to find life-long solutions."&nbsp;

Further, his sister, Ms. Rochella "Ella" Taliño Taray expressed enthusiasm for Palmer's success, saying, "Promoting awareness on autism and the challenges faced by people who have this kind of disorder is one of my core advocacies. Witnessing Palmer's success today with the support of the entire family and our friends makes me think that nothing is impossible. I hope that in the near future, the government can fund free swimming lessons for children with ASD because we've seen how this positively changed Palmer's behavior and development in just one year."&nbsp;

According to the Autism Society of the Philippines, 1 in every 100 Filipinos has ASD, which translates to approximately 1.2 million Filipinos with autism. Autism is a lifelong developmental exceptionality, which affects an individual's ability to socialize, communicate, and adapt to the world around him. Every January, by virtue of a proclamation made by former President Fidel V. Ramos, the Philippines celebrates National Autism Consciousness Week (NACW).&nbsp;

Over the years, several research studies have been conducted and showed that swimming is beneficial for people with ASD because it enhances their motor skills, offers a controlled sensory environment where the feeling of being underwater provides calming tactile input helpful in addressing sensory sensitivities, and building social and communication skills.
