Our son Matthew (born in March 2005) was diagnosed with "moderate" Autism at 2.5 years old.
This is a diary of his road to healing & recovery. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

Quick Update & A Few Pics
Happy New Year everyone! Family update: John moved to Georgia on Sunday (he's attending school & then reporting to his new submarine); Matthew returned to autism preschool yesterday (his new line: "I can-ant go to school"); and I'm almost recovered from my hernia surgery/the holidays & have begun my [annual] new year's diet/exercise program (hopefully this year it will last!). Here are a few pics from Christmas...yes, Matthew is still cute and his blinking has stopped - yay! :)
Good news is always good to hear. I'm exercising like mad too, and eating yogurt, and taking Omega 3 which is supposed to curb appetite and facilitate fat loss.
Boomer or Attack Sub? We have a family friend who was a Submariner, got to go on his sub once when I was a kid, really neat, but small beds. Are you all moving to Georgia too?
"Autism is a neurological disorder that often interferes with a person's ability to communicate with and relate to others. Signs of autism almost always develop before a child is 3 years old. Typically, parents first become concerned when they notice that their toddler does not begin to talk or does not respond and interact like other children. Autism also affects how a child perceives and processes sensory information. The severity of autism varies. Some individuals need assistance in almost all aspects of their daily lives, while others are able to function at a very high level and can even attend school in a regular classroom. While this is a lifelong condition, early diagnosis and treatment can make a major difference."

Yes he is very cute! Glad to hear you are recovering well.
Happy new year!

Awesome news on the (former) blinking. Also glad to hear you're recovery has progressed so far & quickly.

I'm glad the recovery is going smoothly and that Matthew is starting school again - he probably missed it. Austin is starting Monday!
Also great news about the blinking!!!

Glad the blinking stopped!
