My name is Skye. I have two younger brothers, Vaughn and Ewan. Ewan has Autism. Sometimes it is hard to understand my brother. Sometimes he has fits because we do not understand what he wants. Every week, four times a week he has speech. Sometimes my mom can’t always come to my ballet practices because she is with my brother at speech. My mom sometimes is so busy with Ewan’s device (MT4 Dynavox) or therapy that we can’t do things that I want to do. We don’t always get to go everywhere with the whole family because Ewan can’t deal with some things.

 

When Ewan was diagnosed with autism I really didn’t know what it meant. It took awhile for me to really understand it. He is 4 and his favorite singer is Laurie from the Laurie Berkner Band. His favorite song that Laurie sings is that Buzz Buzz Bumblebee song. Sometimes I get really sick of listening to that.

 

I love my brothers very much. We like to wrestle and play hide and seek together. He’s not very good at it. He always hides in the worst places. My brother is a very smart person and I love him very much even when he is in my room.
