Steps in the Right Direction

Benjamin was assessed again today for language and social development.

Both his receptive and his expressive speech are now within normal limits!!!

It has been 6 months of hard work and he is still on the low end of normal, but we have made tremendous progress. In fact, the specialists have referred to his rapid progress as 'remarkable' and they were kind enough to give us the credit for his amazing improvement. Which, of course, is the case since doctors have been so completely unhelpful. We owe his amazing progress to Priesthood blessings, many prayers in his behalf, endless hours of research, dietary changes, supplements, and 5 amazing brothers and sisters willing to act as therapists regularly and without complaint. I'm not sure a little man has ever been loved so much.

Our brush with autism has awakened tremendous gratitude and compassion.

You are amazing Benjamin!!
