Happy November!  Before I go into my story, let me shout out “HELLO MY FRIENDS!!!”

I have been gone for way too long.  Where have I been?  Where do I begin.  My new job has been keeping me extremely busy.  And to add on to that, my director went out on disability.  And you know what that means…I had to not only do my job, I had to do my director’s job.  Let me just say that I deserve a big pat on my back.  For a newbie, I stepped up to the plate and worked my behind off.

Signs and symptoms of autism tend to emerge between the ages of 2 and 3 years old.

As some of you may know, my youngest brother was diagnosed with a mild form of Autism around the age of 2.  I am not saying this because I am speaking of my brother, but he is so smart, especially when it comes to computer technology.  As a matter of fact, many of those on the autism spectrum have exceptional abilities in visual skills, music and academic skills.  “About 40 percent have average to above average intellectual abilities.”
