Pre-Asperger’s – four year old Alexander

When Alexander was four year old, he still loved to play with Thomas the Tank Engine trains, and loved to play on computer, ate chicken nuggets, peanut butter sandwiches and apples, only drank water or fruit punch, still loved to draw and enjoyed playing alone.

Alexander could read well. Alexander could write. I always thought he followed his sister and learned much on his own. He taught himself and managed to learn at from school even without paying much attention.

Alexander stayed in Friendship Christian School for one more semester, and then I kept him home to teach him Chinese.

I keep buying copy paper and provided all art materials. I was amazed by his layout skills and creative drawing ability. He is a very talented artist. The best part is, he loves it.

Every day, we have different neighbor's kids come to play with Meiying and Alexander. Alexander still prefers to play alone.
