Martin

Martin (age 5) on the right was diagnosed with PDD-NOS two years ago. His more prominent symptoms were very significant language development delay and also significant social delay. In short, at 3yo he talked like an 18 month old, comprehended less. He threw lots of fits, many related to his difficulty understanding what was going on. He continues to have significant behaviour and speech issues but has made amazing (to us) progress. In this picture he is playing with his 18month old typically developing sister.

Luc and Maddy

This is my son Luc who is a seven year old Aspie who loves WWII and WWI. He wants army men for Christmas. This is also my Daughter, Maddy a 4 1/2 year old Autie who also has Hyperlexia and loves Ni Hao Kai Lan. I was diagnosed with Asperger's soon after my daughter when she was 2 1/2. She was initially diagnosed with low to moderate ASD, she is now considered high functioning due to her amazing onset of speech thanks to all the intensive ABA therapy and early intervention.
