Description
Excerpted from the website:
- background
- My son Lawrence was born in 1990 and diagnosed with Autism in 1992. In many ways his childhood was typical of autistic kids: he did not respond to his name even though hearing tests were normal, never attempted to “share attention” by pointing, developed language in a very abnormal way (initially nouns only), used toys inappropriately, had no pretend play, would not interact with other children, had very poor impulse control, would fixate on inconsequential things and events, could not tolerate deviations from routine, had a very low frustration tolerance, and developed self-abusive behavior in the form of head hitting, and later, hand biting. Luckily, he was able to acquire language; he can read, write, and is verbal. Unfortunately, as he got older his obsessive/compulsive symptoms worsened, and his agitation, anxiety and self-abusive behaviors became more severe, partly just due to his increased size and strength.
