Alexia 5 and Xander 4 have both been diagnosed with autism. Through genetic tests he is shown to have duplications in his 16p chromosomes. Working over 10 years with autism there are behaviours that are so familiar to me that it seemed normal. So to my surprise Alexia's school wanted her looked at and behold autism. Although upsetting and worring about quality of life i know that with all the funding (that needs to be increased due to more children being diagnosed) her and Xander's future looks brighter. I love my super kids so much. They have older siblings who love them and are learning to understand them and how they see the world.
