My brother is four years old, and he has Aspergers, well that's what we think. I love him so much. He has the brain of a two year old. He loves Toy Story, Cars, and Spongebob. He recently made a big box his "house". He loves that box so much. He even tries to put our cat and chihuahua in it. Talking is a challenge for him, but when he first did, we (my family) were all so surprised. He just started. It was amazing. It was a blessing. It was just so random and out of no where. I'm really glad he did start talking. Because, there was a boy and a few other kids beating him up a his preschool. He would come home with scratches and black eyes. One day, he came home and said, "Hit. Mom, I got hit." Now, since then, it's stop. And, he comes home with a smile on his face. But, to my mom, step-dad, and I, it's more than a smile.
