[swanhonk]

He reminds me of my 5 yo who was diagnosed 2 yrs ago. Hyperfocused on Toy Story and writing numbers (in order or in patterns) whenever he can get his hands on paper :-) CJ is too cute :-)

[thomashibben74804]

Great video! I love that he is all decked out in Woody!

[raenorri]

@thomashibben74804 thanks!

[ThisWorldWillBeMine]

I thought for a second I knew he was gonna say 4... then I realised the title of the video says he's 4 years old. I think something's getting to my head 0_o

[RandomVids9987]

p,s, sorry bout your poor doggy

[raenorri]

@RandomVids9987 thank you :( she was a christmas gift in 2003 so this year was my first christmas without her. i miss her terribly. CJ is still trying to fully understand that she isn't coming back

[RandomVids9987]

Aww this made me sad :( He is veryy smart though!!

[TheLittletwitcher]

His favourite number was 4.... That is so bizarre. My favourite number at that age was 4 and I also have Aspergers!

[EvelynProductions1]

@TheLittletwitcher Same here I have Aspergers and my favorite number is four too!

scary

[forzadeco]

omg he is like ignoring the dog 100% :/ i am the opposite or how you spell it . I cant do anything with a dog near me

[raenorri]

@forzadeco he loved our dog (she passed away in june). kaia (the dog) was around since he was born so she was always just a part of the family. sometimes when she would bark that would upset him a little since he has pretty sensitive ears.

[forzadeco]

@raenorri oh .. Because if you just got a dog at somepoint when he grew up would be weird . but when he had it in his life all the time i understand . I personally cant handle dogs .

[raenorri]

@forzadeco he tells me he misses her a lot these days. i don't know when we will get another dog, but i plan to make sure he is a big part of that decision. trying to figure out that we can't go to the pet store and get a "new" kaia is confusing to him right now.

[lisacmeier]

He's a sweet boy, my son was the EXACT same way. Only back then I didn't have a clue there was a name for it. I just figured some kids liked toys and others numbers , letters books and spinning things. I was quite shocked with the diagnosis of Aspergers! I wanted to sue the school for suggesting such a thing. Now , Aspergers means, "Better than average" and I love it!! Your little man is better than average, (just be careful not to brag ;)

My son has not been given the official diagnosis because he doesn't meet the social aspect. His doctor told us that he did have many of the traits and that alot of children now days have one or more. He's 5 now but we knew something was a little different when he was @ 1...he learned all 50 states after being shown and told only twice. He could identify them from shape alone. He also loves to see the internal working of things and things that swirl or rotate. With the testimonies I've read and

[julzdarling]

gracious, he is quite a smart kid. I'm doing research for my special education course right now, and this has proved interesting. thanks.

[raenorri]

@julzdarling he is a very smart kid indeed! thanks so much for your interest :)

[Somethingproductable]

Is his favorite number 8? I see a kind of pattern here.

[raenorri]

@Somethingproductable actually his favorite number most days is 5. occasionally he has shown interest in other numbers, but most days, it's 5.

[madlopez22]

god bless him, my son is 8yrs old now, and did the same thing, and also with hotwheels, lining up by color and size all the time...now hes the smartest in his class, just a little anti social, your son will be great one day..maybe even a doctor or mathematician...hes brillant..!!

[raenorri]

@madlopez22 thank you so much!

[soloboy1991]

One day he may become a great mathematician or something that has to do with numbers.Awesome kid.

[raenorri]

@soloboy1991 thank you, we agree! 

[mattyg3838]

He is 4 and he can write like that??? Wow!!! That is really impressive!! :)  He's sweet, just like my boy!
