Description: The images and clips in this video are from a period spanning 5 years. Andrew is now 6 years old. About the cans and rubber mallet: Like many kids on the spectrum Andrew has Sensory Processing Disorder as well. He loves to smash things, its loud, it provides physical feedback and its fun. Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability we face today. The cause of Autism is unknown. 1 in every 150 children in America has Autism. Our son is one of them. Our son is just like your child. He explores and is curious about the world around him. He plays, he runs, he laughs, he loves. He goes to school, he learns, he has friends. Sometimes he is serious and sometimes he feels alone... but he is never really alone. Our son has Autism. Our son is perfect. Feel free to visit our website at http://velcrokids.com

ditsieblonde ::: Favorites As a parent of a child with Autism - I am truly shocked by the some if the ignorant and offensive comments that have been posted on this wall. All we ask is: Try to be aware, try to be understanding and try to accept. Is it too much to ask?! Please try! Thank you to all that have made possitive comments, the World would be such a better place if we all learnt accept to get along :-) Kim x 07-09-30 08:44:43 __________________________________________________
