My son Jacob is 9 years old, at 3 he was diagnosed with Autism. He didnt start speaking till he was about 5, He went from one word sentences to speaking in full paragraphs, When we our out and about Jacob can photographically remember the whole neighborhood from street signs to different buildings and only been there one time, He goes home and creates his own neighborhood with exact set up as the previous place we were, He has every Beatles song ever made memorized, His favorite Hey Jude, He is one of the smartest children in his class ( 3rd Grade ) His reading skills are at a 6th grade level, His favorite place Chuck E cheese and his fav thing to do after school is get on his lap top, He teaches me something new every day, he is my inspiration, He is very hyper and OCD with almost every day routines, He is my super hero =)
