Gen, Keep us posted when you can and know that you are in my thoughts.

Fragile X is a common cause of inherited mental disorders and is one of the more common known causes of autism (though it comprises a very small percentage of cases). More info at www.fraxa.org.

The final assessment was today and it is definitely autism. We have started some of the suggestions we received for handling Samuel (I look kind of silly going through stores singing things to him instead of telling but I don't care, it works). We are going to figure out some sort of pictorial schedule system for him, where he can look at something and know the schedule for the day and know what to expect to happen.
