Samuel is very unique. From an early age, we knew something was different about his development. It became very apparent when his socialization was much further behind that of his cousin, who is a month younger than him. It took him longer to talk and seemed like he understood less of what we were saying. When he was 3 and things continued to come slowly, we really began looking for answers. He was diagnosed with Autism shortly after his 4th birthday.
Since then, he appears to seem as though he's in his own world much of the time. He doesn't talk to anyone at school (so his teacher and aide say). Other students don't really talk to him either. He's not bugged by this. He likes things to be in routine, and sometimes gets frustrated if they aren't. I hope this will get better as time goes on. We have been trying really hard to have consistency throughout the days.
