Jonathan

Jonathan was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when he was three and a half years old. He's so sweet, funny, creative and insightful, which is a good thing. Because sometimes he can be so rigid and hard to deal with. He loves computers, playing chess and drawing his own comic book character "Purple Man."

Bobby

This is Bobby; he is 19 and autistic. He also had a stroke at the age of 9. He has made tremendous strides from being almost entirely nonverbal to being very social at the day center he goes to for special needs folks. Here he is talking to both his girlfriend and best friend, trying to manage two conversations at once. He also has two younger sisters, both of whom are on the spectrum, as well. They have never been silent, so perhaps they have been rubbing off on him.

Ethan and Javi

Ethan 3, diagnosed with PDD-NOS, and older brother Javi, 8, diagnosed with Autism. Ethan is quiet, but very caring and sensitive friend. He's always there to lend a helping hand. He enjoys cooking and is usually the first to line up and help in the kitchen. He loves to snuggle with his little sister, Kaylee 16 months. Javi, loves to talk! He was a late talker, starting out around age four, but is still trying to make up for lost time. His favorite past times are playing video games, drawing and reading. He loves to craft things with his hands and he LOVES to eat. Stark contrast from his younger days, when we swore he got most of his nutrition from juice! Both boys attend public school, Ethan in an integrated ASD preschool and Javi, was promoted from ASD classes to Non Severely Handicapped, Special Day classes.

Joy

Joy is a four-year-old bundle of affectionate energy, who runs like the wind and lights the room with her smiles. Though she's not saying more than a word or two these days, she loves peek and chase games and hugs and kissies. Autism and epilepsy are part of the package, but they don't keep anyone in our family from immensely enjoying life, least of all Joy herself!
