My daughter Giulianna, age 3 years and 10 months old was diagnosed with high functioning Autism on July 3, 2012. She was first diagnosed 2 years ago with Sensory Processing Disorder. She is the smartest kid I know and so determined to do things her way and in her own time. She had so much difficulty and is starting to show amazing progress. She has much less anxiety in social settings, she appears empowered to try the unknown. She is still only interacting with a chosen few children who she truly trusts but shows more desire to want to be around them. She talks a mile a minute at home and surprises me with her above average vocabulary. Yet at school the teacher is lucky if she has heard her voice. She loves balloons and lollipops. They are 2 of her favorite things. Her potty training is coming along well. She seems ready now. She is a diamond in the rough that is starting to show her facets. She shines and sparkles so brightly. I am so proud of my little girl who loves sports and is such a girly girl at the same time. She has an amazing natural talent for soccer. Its quite amazing. The next Christie Rampone or Hope Solo i believe. My amazing Child. I love her with all of my heart and soul. She has taught me a new way to look at the world and I love it.
