Alex is a regular 8 year old boy. He goes to school, he likes to have fun and he loves to play, but there is something special about him...

Alex has autism. Autism is something that you get when you are born. It can come from a family member or a bad gene can cause it. Alex got his autism from his mom.

Come play with us Alex.

Autism affects Alex every day because it causes him to face challenges in his life. He doesn't like change very much, he has trouble talking to people and he repeats himself a lot.

There is no way to get rid of what Alex has, but he goes to his speech therapist every single day to get help for his autism. She helps him with skills for talking to people, and she helps him to not repeat himself.
