submerges himself under water and holds his
breath for ages. He does it until I

- My 18 year old son loves Monster
Trucks and has been collecting them
since he was about 5 years old. His
collection is in mint condition and
there are probably 200+ trucks. He
knows every truck, who drives it, and
who has won the World Finals over the
last 8 years. When we see a Monster
Truck display at the store, he instantly
knows which ones he has.

- My 16 year old draws pictures of Walmart
stores, right down to the finest
detail. He also draws road maps,
including the exits, the name of the
road, and the exit number. He is always
100% accurate. He can also recite,
word for word, his favorite John Wayne
movie. Him and his brother who is
also on the spectrum take turns being the
different characters.
