This is my son.

He is a huge football fan and can talk for hours about the NFL down to the minute on a play in any given game.

He has trouble sleeping if I am not home.

He loves music and would love to be a country music star.

He doesn't like to sit on certain chairs because he doesn't like they way they make him feel.  I let him stand.

He enjoys the ritual of mass and loves being a part of it.

He doesn't like change be it in a schedule or the recipe of a favorite food from a favorite restaurant.

He loves his two youngest Texas cousins enormously.  They adore him as well.

He is very literal minded and sees things in black and white.  There is no gray for him.  It's right or it's not.

He will play with his youngest sister for hours.  

He can also fight like crazy with his youngest sister.  

He will be 17 this year. 

He wants to drive but has such visual perception issues that he's not developmentally ready yet.

He asks me often why God made him this way. 

He plays 6 man football even though he's afraid of being tackled.

He can throw the football like a rocket. 

He can converse very well with adults.  Most of the adults don't respond very well.  Luckily, he doesn't notice.

He wants a friend in the worst way.

He loves his family in Texas and on the East Coast.
