It was so crazy to me finding out my cousin from Texas has autism. He was always different and in his own world but I never would've figured. My aunt just recently told me. She told me the symptoms and I knew then that his autism was severe.... It got to that point I figure because as a young kid they never put him in any early interventions or put much attention to him.The good thing is he is in a special program at school that helps him. He is struggling with social skills and cognitive skills. I've informed them of my information and now they are trying to see what better benefits him. I've also told them what they should do at home and what kind of environment they should provide as autistic caregivers now. Just the way they are affected by others at school they are also affected at home. It was just wow to find this out....
