So I don't really know how to start this post and this one is going to be a serious one.... But anyway here it goes.
Around four years ago when my brother was four he was diagnosed with autism. Autism is basically a spectrum condition, which means that, while all people with autism share certain difficulties, their condition will affect them in different ways. Autism effects how a person communicates with, and relates to, other people. It also affects how they make sense of the world around them.
Some people with autism are able to live relatively normal lives but others may have accompanying learning difficulties and need a lifetime of support. Some people may know autism as Asperger syndrome but in actual fact Asperger syndrome is a type of autism. People with Asperger syndrome are often of average or above average intelligence and don't face that much problems with speech but may still have problems of understanding people.
My brother is very loving and sometimes doesn't know when to stop. He could just walk up to someone he just met and give them a hug or a kiss. His speech has improved a lot since he was diagnosed back in 2010 due to time working with his speech therapist and other specialist people. He goes to a special needs school as if he went to a mainstream school we fear he might of got bullied but he loves it. He is such a happy loving boy and doesn't let his problems get in his way :))
I deleted and rewritten this post so many times as it was so hard to write I'm going to leave some links down below to some websites about autism, so you can read some more information is you like...
