💔🧸HE WAS JUST 5. NONVERBAL. AUTISTIC. AND FOUND DEAD IN A POND.🧸💔
📍Golden Gate, Florida | Sunday, July 27, 2025

📦 It was supposed to be a fresh start.
Jaylen Saintelien’s family had just moved into their new home — boxes still being unpacked.
But in a matter of moments… Jaylen was gone.

🚨 The 5-year-old boy was nonverbal and autistic.
His family searched the house. The yard. The neighborhood.
Then they called 911.

🚔 The Collier County Sheriff’s Office launched a massive search effort:
• Ground teams
• Drones
• K-9 units
• Mounted patrol
• Aviation and EMS
• Even the Naples Fire Department joined in

🌙 The search went through the night.
But by Sunday morning, their worst fears were confirmed.

🕯️ Jaylen was found dead in a pond near his home.
No words. Just heartbreak.

💔 A little boy who couldn’t speak — but whose presence filled a home.
💔 A family who moved in one day — and lost everything the next.
💔 A tragedy that unfolded in seconds.

🙏🏾 Please keep Jaylen’s family in your prayers.

About Us

Demonty Speaks was founded by Ashley Larkin, a devoted mother who turned her personal journey into a mission to help others. At just 23 years old, Ashley welcomed her son Demonty into the world. Though he was full of life and met many milestones, Ashley noticed early signs that led to an autism diagnosis at age 2, thanks to the Marcus Autism Center.

Determined to give her son the best support possible, Ashley dove into research, connected with vital resources like Babies Can’t Wait, and ensured Demonty began therapy and early education by age 3. Her unwavering commitment to early diagnosis and intervention inspired the creation of Demonty Speaks.

Our mission is clear: to raise awareness, encourage early testing, and connect families to the resources and support they need. Because every child deserves a voice—and every parent deserves to be heard.

At Demonty Speaks, we are committed to making a difference in the lives of individuals with autism, especially those living in poverty. Far too many people face barriers when it comes to accessing testing and diagnosis, which are critical first steps toward getting the support they need.

That’s why we’re working to bridge the gap by providing affordable or free testing and diagnostic services to underserved communities. Our mission is to ensure that every individual, no matter their circumstances, has the opportunity to thrive.

💙 Together, we can break down barriers, create awareness, and empower families to get the resources they deserve.

Good morning everyone☀️
I want to say thank you to those who have and still support Demonty speaks not only on Facebook but in real life.(Name change happening 🔜 .) I had to really take that moment to rest!!!! Now we are back and going harder than ever! My journey has been incredible,inspirational, rewarding.... and interesting to say the least! I also found myself feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and disappointed at times when I wanted to be there for other families, while making sure my family is safe, happy, and healthy at the same time. I took the moment to reflect and strengthen myself as I embark upon this next phase of what I know Demonty speaks will become! It's hard but I'm here for the challenge. I need anyone who is a parent of a autistic child to send me all your great energy and encouragement. As we make the world better for our children while we are still here. Light it up blue 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
