Wow, I had such a great time capturing Hunter and some of his favorite things in life... rocks, sticks, water, trees and more!
Along our way, we stopped and played, many times through out his day!
To look at Hunter, you'd never guess he has Autism. He amazed me in so many ways. He knew exactly what he wanted and the way he wanted it. He was so sweet and I really think he loved every minute of his Younique session. He touched my heart unbelievable!!! I loved every minute of my day! I was truly blessed to have the opportunity, to spend time with him and his mom... Awesome family!
*My favorite saying of the day...
Look Mrs. Kim, it's SNOT...
( the green stuff in the water!) Haha!
When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of our great creator!
He looks completely normal. However, Hunter is a sweet 14 year old boy who has Asperger’s Syndrome.
Although there are many possible symptoms of Asperger’s syndrome, the main symptom is significant trouble with social situations. Your child may have mild to severe symptoms or have a few or many of these symptoms. Because of the wide variety of symptoms, no two children with Asperger's are alike
Children with Asperger's syndrome may:
· Not pick up on social cues and may lack inborn social skills, such as being able to read others' body language, start or maintain a conversation, and take turns talking.
· Dislike any changes in routines.
· Appear to lack empathy.
· Be unable to recognize subtle differences in speech tone, pitch, and accent that alter the meaning of others’ speech. So your child may not understand a joke or may take a sarcastic comment literally. And his or her speech may be flat and hard to understand because it lacks tone, pitch, and accent.
· Have a formal style of speaking that is advanced for his or her age. For example, the child may use the word "beckon" instead of "call" or the word "return" instead of "come back."
· Have unusual facial expressions or postures.
· Be preoccupied with only one or few interests, which he or she may be very knowledgeable about. Many children with Asperger's syndrome are overly interested in parts of a whole or in unusual activities, such as designing houses, drawing highly detailed scenes, or studying astronomy. They may show an unusual interest in certain topics such as snakes, names of stars, or dinosaurs.
· Talk a lot, usually about a favorite subject. One-sided conversations are common. Internal thoughts are often verbalized.
· Have delayed motor development. Your child may be late in learning to use a fork or spoon, ride a bike, or catch a ball. He or she may have an awkward walk. Handwriting is often poor.
· Have heightened sensitivity and become over stimulated by loud noises, lights, or strong tastes or textures
