Beautiful Bu

This "Little Man" has an amazing spirit. When I was 4 months pregnant with him, his father was in a severe motorcycle accident. He cried more as an infant, and as a toddler, he did not want to be hugged. For almost 3 years he did not even turn when his name was called. He did graduate to coming up and giving hugs, but not necessarily wanting one back. Now he gives strong bear hugs and loves to be embraced himself.

Nobunaga is on the autistic spectrum and is in many ways still like a baby. He loves balls and gravity, and jumping from high places into waiting ( or not quite waiting, more like here he is) arms.

He still lays flat when upset, turns away when he does not want to hear what you are saying or feeding him, but has the purest heart melting smile and giggly laugh.

He has been given carnesine and probiotics daily for a few weeks and there is vast improvement in his repetition of words and recall such as sitting by himself, saying, "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,... or counting 1,2,3,4,5.
