Jack Crackers

This is Jack. Jack Mathew Blake Anderson. He's my first. He was born in Los Angeles on April 24, 2004. He has created quiet a story for his short 5 years on earth. He is what Matt (my better half) and I call our "deep blue something".

He is on the autistic spectrum. I say "on the spectrum" because if you are not in this "world of autisim" you may think all kids are just "autistic"....They are not. They are what I call the Zebra's of the kid kingdom. They are as individual with their challenges as they are with their DNA. Not one is like the other. They all have their own "autistic fingerprint" if you will. He is considered "high functioning", by the "system" he is as close to "normal" as you can get without being called "normal".

He has a hard time with using language that a 5 year old would "typically" be using. He'd rather be on the computer or playing WII or playing outside or in the playroom than hanging with the likes of "you". He's a blast. He's tons of fun, loves adventure, and exploring and laughing and giggles more than Elmo and Zoe put together. He is SMART. CRAZY SMART. Has puts things together that most 8 years are just working on. He reads, he works a computer like Bill Gates and eats nothing but french fries, chicken nuggets and soy chocolate milk. (He eats a little more than that but not much!)
He is my ocean. He is my wind. He is what moves me through the world.
