This is Robert Cale he was diagnosed with autism and ADHD at the age of 3. At the time I had never heard of autism ever, never even knew it existed until my mother told me when she took him to Doctor. I had her explain it to me but still couldn't quite understand it. I do know though, even though he is autistic he has such a great imagination. He has particular things he loves such as trains, tornados, the titanic ship, sharks, bridges, piranhas, and certain tv shows. His favorite colors are black and red, mostly black though. He loves regular show and adventure time on Cartoon Network. As you can see in the photo above he made a finn costume out of cardboard and jake out of tissue box with pieces of cardboard for legs. I drew his face for him. He also made the sword out of cardboard. When he got done I was like "Wow he really just made a Finn costume." It was funny. A few days after this photo he made another Finn hat, but the face more circular just like Finn. I literally have sat down and watched him take the little Lego pieces you model cars out of, and built the titanic too. It wasn't exactly the same color now, but everything was where it should be. He also loves to draw houses with chimneys. I noticed when he was around 4 drawing a house better than any 3 to 6 years old I've ever seen. I was really amazed. Cale is now ten and he is in the 4th grade. He loves to sing and hum himself to sleep when it's time. He does take medicine for the ADHD and to help him go to sleep. He is a wild spirit though without his medicine which can be a good things at most times, but there are sometimes where it's get too out of hand, but I couldn't ever ask for such a cool and sweet little brother, besides my other little brother Riylin, I wouldn't change him for nothing.
