Let’s Meet Hunter … and his mom

Back in November I posted a news article about a boy with autism and fragile X syndrome named Hunter.  There was a video that accompanied it on the news site but some folks weren’t able to view it.  Well, Hunter’s momma commented on the post this morning and for those interested she has a copy of the video!!

You can reread the original article here.

And here is her comment

Hello to you all,

I am Hunter’s mom and just received this link from my cousin. I to would like more focus on Fragile X Syndrome. However the basis of the report was on the early detection of Autism. I knew about the Fragile X Syndrome but was originally told he would only have autisitc like behaviors. Well for Hunter he does actually have Autism which to me is as little different then just exhibiting some of the behaviors. My nephew also has Fragile X but he does not exhibit any of the behviors of autism. Had I known then I would have known what to expect. I am not big on suprises especially when they involve my child. I would be glad to talk to any of you. We are all in this together. Maybe we could come up with a way to get the disorder out there. I get so sick of people saying Fragile what? I do have a copy of the video if anyone would like a copy. You can contact me at spielman1102@aol.com

You all have a wonderful day!
