Getting to Know JJ

JJ, diagnosed over 4 years ago on the Autism Spectrum.
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a disorder that effects 1 in 150 Children.
JJ is one of the lucky ones.
He has speech, great social skills, and is doing all second grade work halfway through his kindergarten year.
He's my little boy genious.


JJ is my little brother, so of course I am going to think he is absolutly adorable, but I figure if he makes me laugh, he will probably make you laugh too, and I can't be greedy and keep him all to myself, so I'll share some of his insights with you.
First, you need to know him.
He eats bacon, bacon, and more bacon.
He prides himself on not trying anything else.
He loves Sonic the Hedgehog videogames, and he knows that if he makes any red choices at school, he won't get to play them, so that's what keeps him making green choices everyday.
He's on a gluten and casein free diet...no dairy especially...JJ will be the first to say that
"Cheese makes me CRAZY!"
He's in a routine, if you get off an exit that isn't what he's used to, it freaks him out.
I decided to go the back way home one day, never will I make that mistake again!
All the way he home, "Mommy goes to exit 14, this is 13, you're going the wrong way! Why are you going this way!"
These are just a few starters on JJ, you'll get to know him better if you follow my blog!

  1. Amber, I am so proud of you for starting this blog. JJ is indeed an absolutely amazing kid and I'm still giggling at the bacon, bacon and more bacon. He's going to turn into a strip of bacon. I have never been more in love with a 6 year old in my life....even if he tells me I smell (new perfume)....ah the honesty of a child.
