Those who just meet Alex could never even think that he was
diagnosed with autism about four years ago. Now he is a typical first grader,
who earned his orange belt in tae kwon do, takes piano and swimming lessons,
loves to trick his parents, jokes, and play games … But, four years ago, when we finally realized that Alex has
autism, we committed ourselves to working very hard with him, going through
daily therapy sessions, trying to understand how his mind works, dealing with
frustrations, learning to celebrate the tiniest milestones.
For the next three days I want to write about our family’s
road to “the cure”. (I probably could write a three-volume book about it!) I
will break it down in to three parts: Life Unedited, Walking The Walk, and Happily Ever After… Please read on and circulate
these posts among your friends and loved ones. After all, nowadays we all know
someone whose life is touched by autism.
