The Boy Who Loved Windows

A friend's son has Asperger's Syndrome,
a high functioning autism. In addition,
my cousin's son also was diagnosed with
autism. My cousin has been very active
with her son, using what she termed
“floor time” with him and has seen strong
benefits with him, so much that she has
begun speaking to groups about the process.

Patricia Stacey felt something was not
right with her son, Walker, from birth.
She became an advocate for her son,
seeking out treatments and therapies
to help him. Eventually, she came to
use floor time eight times a day with
her son. He made incredible progress;
in fact, some doctors have told Stacey
that perhaps Walker was only pre-autistic,
never really autistic at all! Very
readable. The changes in Walker, at times,
seemed almost unbelievable.
