A condition called Autism: A Late Development of a Child

Parents are meant to have a kid with zero disability. It has been the greatest wish and prayers for a pregnant Mom to deliver a healthy one. But then, disability will not determine only after a delivery of a child; it is a continuous process of observing months to years and in time. Hence, parents are usually the first one to know if what his/her child standing amidst a normal one or not, as doctors can only see what is in the outside problems of a newborn-child may occur and the condition itself if the heartbeat and rate are all well.

The Year 2007, March 26 my sister-in-law delivered a healthy baby boy. We were very happy to see our new member of the family. And his name is Markie, my first nephew at that time. He will be turning 11 years old this coming March 2018, a fat and healthy; but way back when he was months to a year old. His mom and dad found something different in him. He falls asleep at midnight time and wakes up 10-11 AM every morning. So my mom and his parents were having a hard time to handle the situation but they did well for the seek of my nephew. His parents refused for a check-up because they think it is just normal for him but not… A year old after, he begun standing and walking on his own. We noticed his difference from other normal children. He can't talk and even interact with someone he never was done. Every time he heard and saw attractive, he jumps up, grinning and his hands moving up and down. 2 years old after, it was very strange even saying Mama or papa (mom and dad) we never heard. No reaction at all and the thing is if he wants something he will just do it without hesitation.

This is my Nephew

His parents decided for a check-up and took him to a specialist. The doctor requested for an hour of observation and put him in a place of many things and toys. And after several test and observation, the doctor found out that he has a middle condition of Autism.
