Question

“He looks normal.” That's what everybody says when I tell them my son was just diagnosed as autism（孤独症）. They all say it without 36 .

It’s true. Alejandro does look like every other 37 boy. He plays, he smiles, and he runs around with the two-year-old boy’s boundless 38 until he is too tired. He laughs when you move your fingers 39 on a sensitive part of his body. And he often 40 his toys like every other young child at his age.

But most of the time, Alejandro 41 in his own little world playing with his toys all by himself 42 in a group of kids and 43 you when you talk to him loudly. At that time he’s alone, no matter how hard you try to 44 him.

My wife and I get 45 . We ask for “nose kisses” or hugs and many times he doesn’t 46 us. It’s extremely anxious when your child’s face is right in front of you and he won’t admit your 47 .

He regularly doesn’t eat. The food often 48 him when he puts it in his mouth. He is very small 49 his age. We are told that it’s another 50 of the autism.

Because autism isn’t like some other 51 , there is no set treatment. Each child needs to be treated 52 ; what works for one probably doesn’t work for another. Try a treatment. If it doesn’t work, you have to try another 53 you hopefully find something that does work.

The future is cloudy, but we will try everything we can do to reach him, because we love him and we know he’s a(n) 54 little boy. And we believe with the help of love, we can 55 any difficulty.
