My baby boy Brandon was 4years old when he was diagnosed with autism.when brandon was a baby he was making movements with his hands but I just thought maybe its he is playing with his hands.brandon didn't reach his milestones at 2 years he didn't talk he didn't play with other children.he was playing with the wheels of his truck spinning it he was doing it continiously while he was starring at the spinning wheel.Brandon was crying right through the night at times and I didn't know what was wrong with him.I was so exhausted at work.Brandons father took me to court because he thought I was neclecting my child because he was developing very slow he couldn't interact with us.I won the court case and Brandon was diagnosed by a clinical psycologist who specialised in autism.I was devastated because my other two boys were suffering from epilepsy and I'm a single parent.Brandon is four years old now and he is such a loving boy he likes to be huggeD and love the beach.He can say some words like momy and the names of his brothers but he will show me with his finger what he wants.Hopefully Brandon will go to a special school this year in Cape town.He is my joy and God knows why I am blessed with Brandon
