I melt over this boy.
Look at these eyes!
Who could resist this goofy kid?
This boy is 1/4 of my heart :)

The Autism Pizza
It's a good explanation of how things line up on the spectrum.
1. The Crust: Lack of Social Interaction (poor eye contact, not sharing interests with you, no pointing/gesturing)
2. The Sauce: Impaired Communication (possibly no speech, poor conversation skills, repetitive language, echolalia, no make-believe play)
3. The Cheese: Stereotypical Activities & Interests (extreme routine, strong interest in certain things, stimming [flapping, atypical play, etc.] -- like spinning wheels, lining toys up, stacking, etc.)
If you have all of those things: crust, sauce, cheese, you made an Autism pizza. It might have different toppings, but you can look at it and know it's still a pizza. If your pizza doesn't have sauce, that's Aspergers's. If your pizza is missing more than that but still kind of looks like a pizza, that's PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified)
