When I lost my mom to a brain aneurism I was 9 months pregnant with my first born child NaRay. After I gave birth I was so happy to have finally met my lil boy who was kicking my butt..LOL. time was passing so fast I didn't even realize my boy was almost turning 1years old... I did notice at 9 months he wasn't babbling as much or giving me direct eye contact.... I spoke with his pediatrician who suggested I get an evaluation done. Of course after several evaluations he was diagnosed with (ppd). I wasn't aware of any kind of Autism, never researched it or anything. I automatically started his therapies but also researched and got the history about his diagnosis and what can I do to help. My son is now 7 years old, very intelligent, has won awards,certificates and plaques for his accomplishments... he's great with computers and loves building cars out of Plastic.. he's now holding
conversations with me and his little Sister ...Although his dad walked away once he
learned that NaRay was autistic it didn't affect him... NaRay to date is a green belt in karate and my inspiration. I wouldn't trade him for the "normal" kid...
