9 years ago, I met the most special kid in the world. I didn't know how much me and my family's life would change. This is Lucas, He was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2.
He was a very quiet child, when he was younger, he didn't know a lot of words, and you had to ask him what he wanted. Now he is talking a lot. At school he surprises all the teachers. He listens to them, and talks to them, little bits at a time. He has learned how to read and now he is reading level C books! He has come a long way since he started school, and I am so proud of him.
He's favourite food is pizza. He loves to watch Disney movies and watch tv. He loves to be outside, and he loves the beach! He has curly curly red hair, and people come up to him and say "Can I have your hair" as a joke, and he says "No" then walks away, so you can't say that he doesn't understand because he does.
He reads to me every night, and he sings songs with me all the time. I help him with everything,when he's hungry, when he wants to go outside and much more! I didn't know that I had such a strong bond, with my sibling. He makes me laugh when I'm down, and can put a smile on the face of anyone! If you met him, you wouldn't want to go. He will try and tickle you, laugh at you and talk to you. Out of nowhere he will come up to you, look you in the eyes and laugh. Like its some game! He is so special and I love him with all my heart!
