Zach pulled some change out of his pocket and Zane was intrigued by it. The spent time sorting change and making designs out of it. I just love watching moments like this. Also, in the foreground of the first picture is a farm set which was from Joy. (She quit carrying kid’s toys at her store, and this is a set that left from that). For the first time, he spent time lining up the fences and actually appeared to play with the animals by moving them around and such. I haven’t really seen much ‘pretend play’ from him, so this was an exciting indicator of a new stage of development.

Random Quote
Autism is a continuum from genius to extremely handicapped. If you got rid of all the autism genetics, you’d get rid of scientists, musicians, mathematicians. Some guy with high-functioning Asperger’s developed the first stone spear; it wasn’t developed by the social ones yakking around the campfire. The problem is, you talk to parents with a low-functioning kid, who’ve got a teenager who still goes to the bathroom in his pants and who’s biting himself all the time. This guy destroys the house, and he’s not typing, no matter what keyboards you make available. His life is miserable. It would be nice if you could prevent the most severe forms of nonverbal autism.” — Temple Grandin, PhD, Autistic
