Tindale is always within reach of his iPad Pro 11, Sony HDR-CX 405 Camcorder, Sony DSC-W800 photo camera and peers and family rarely see him without the Sony WH-1000x M4 headphones draped around his neck.He likes to explain what his Gnarbox 2.0 512GB portable SSD can do, and gets animated when he talks about his Samsung T5 portable SSD/2 TB, Samsung T7 portable SSD/2 TB, and Hyperdrive 9 in 1 USB-C Hub. They are more than accessories to Tindale.
When he was 3 years old, he started Pearland ISD in the Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities as a student with Autism, Speech Impairment who received occupational therapy, including speech therapy and socialization, at Massey Ranch Elementary. Tindale would gradually progress from resource setting to the general education classroom. Along the way, he dealt with the deaths of a close friend and his own father.
The family is used to going somewhere — to shop or eat — and hearing a chorus of “Hi Will” from peers and adults.Tindale plays the baritone euphonium in the Dawson marching band, and for the last three years of high school, served as the band’s historian.Band gave Tindale confidence, she said, and the motivation to make good grades so he could continue not only as a musician, but as its chronicler.
Part of that determination and work ethic comes from Tindale was always being taught to be self-dependent, and Tindale is grateful he was allowed to find his rhythm in general education classrooms.
