Bryce is a funny, mechanical, HAPPY little guy who was diagnosed with autism at age two and now five years old. His pure joy makes this world a much better place!
In this episode, we talk in more depth about Bryce's social deficits related to autism. His social deficits have changed the past three years since his diagnosis. Although he still has great difficulty understanding how to interpret emotions and intentions of others, he has taken a great interest in playing with friends his age. Big victory!
Social areas that remain an area of improvement include:
1. Learning to read other people's emotions and understanding how to appropriately respond to the emotions of others
2. Understanding when others have bad intentions with him (ie: making fun of him or inappropriately touching him)
3. Comprehending more language, so he can engage and carry a conversation
4. Teaching him the appropriate amount of personal space for friends vs family
Our goal is to be Autism Ambassadors and help others understand our world a little more than they did before listening to the podcast.
