I know I haven't updated. Sorry! It was really hard for me to come here and admit it, but yes, Alex was diagnosed with Autism. We have his IEP coming up. The ddd thing is, he's doing great! He goes through cycles where you think he may be Autistic, and then where he is totally "normal." We don't like the word "normal" in our house, because really, none of us are. :-)
He loves Destination Imagination and his chess club. He actually is identifying with a friend too! J. is 2 years older then him, and they play chess. When I asked Alex if he has any friends, he said if he had to pick someone it would be J. So it's a step closer.
Thanks to everyone for your support. We still are not telling Alex because he hates labels. But we will be moving towards helping him better understand who he is and how his mind works. God gave us someone very special, and he is going to change the world.
