My daughter kenna was diagnosed with autism at the age of 4 it has been a long road she doesn't communicate well but we have a picture book that helps us understand her. My son Gabe was just diagnosed at the age of 10. He suffered a stroke at birth and has severe trauma to the right side of his brain. His neurologist kept saying its behaviour problems and not to worry. I new something wasn't right and the way he acted. He claps his hands and makes weird noises so as a mother I had him evaluated at a behavioural center and got the diagnoses of moderate/severe autism and with therapy and coping and anger management classes it will help him deal with it. Its hard raising 2 kids on the autism spectrum but it has made me a stronger parent and more understanding to there needs. I love my children they are my angels.
