We knew something wasn't right when they were little. They were not meeting milestones. At first the doctor said it was do to them being twins. We put them in an Intervention program around 18 months old. When they turned 3 they were diagnosed with Autism. They were able to start school at 3 for this reason. They are high functioning. They can speak. At 5 years old we were told to put them in extra speech and occupational therapies outside of school to help them even more and we did. It really helped them a great deal and well worth the extra driving to take them to these therapies. They are now 11years old and still are going to the therapies. The girls are entering a new chapter in there life. This school year they will be entering middle school. They are still in the ESE program. We are seeing certain talents starting to emerge as well. One twin is becoming an artist and the other twin is our singer. Our singer, sang a solo at church for the first time this past Christmas. They are awesome young ladies. It's a new adventure everyday.
