Autism?????

Ok, so Monday we had our first meeting with the speech therapist. Aidan is more in need of this because he seriously struggles with his speech and neither boy asks for things they want, in which they should be doing at this point.

As the speech therapist analyzed Aidan she did mention that he does have a few tendancies that could lead her to believe that he does have autism, but it was still early to tell. Here's my thing: How can one identical twin have autism and not the other???? They have the same chromosomes and all the same DNA. Sometimes I do believe he does have autism other times I don't know what to think. I'm trying not to cry as I write this, but Aidan really loves to cuddle and he makes great eye contact with me. Around other people he is very shy. Evan will start to talk and socialize where Aidan could care less and would love to explore everything. On the other hand he loves to be alone in his room and he does take things in his hands and examine it over and over again, whether it be a piece of pasta or a toy. Then again, and this is big the other night we decided to splurge a little and have dinner at Red Robin. Now, I had Evan and Keith had Aidan. Keith told me that as soon as they walked into the restaurant, Aidan saw this huge fuzzy Red Robin in full costume and went up and gave the guy a high five. It was really cool to hear, I wish I could have seen it.
Anyway, the debate rolls on. I'm scared that he might have it and wondering what lies ahead. Please keep us in your prayers. Have a good weekend. Love ya!
