Alex Making More Progress!

If you don't know by now, John and I have had Game Nights pretty regularly for the past year and a half with our friends Jim and Shawna Seago. They have a 3 yr old named Alex, and a 4 month old named Jacob. When Alex was around 18 mos his doctors diagnosed him as being on the autism spectrum. Since then, the Seagos have read up on and fully embraced the advice of the ever-growing autism community--no matter how frustrating, expensive or far they have to go. We have learned so much from them, but the most rewarding part is that we get to see the progress Alex makes every time we have a GN. Shawna and her friend/Rescue Angel Amy, have so much knowledge on this issue. Alex has had speech therapy and takes certain medicines/treatments specific to his issues, as prescribed by his DAN (autism dr). He has also been on a strict and expensive GFCF diet. I hope I am saying everything right! Anyway, I posted a video almost a month ago of Alex learning to count---that's one thing about Alex is that it was always evident that he is very intelligent. He was just in his own world too much to express it in the typical ways. He is rejoining us in our world a little more everyday. I remember how exciting it was last year when he started learning sign language. Shawna just sent me a few videos of him today, where he is obviously saying "boot" "toes" and "nose"! I have a feeling he is going to be very smart! He has also been affectionate with his little brother Jacob---and affection doesn't usually fall in line with autism. Whether the improvement is from his classes, therapy sessions, diet, meds flushing out the toxins, or your loving attention, you should be proud and know you are admired. When he makes a full recovery you will be such role models for many overwhelmed parents. Good job and yay for Alex!
Hopefully i can post this link correctly..:
