I Always Thought Autism Was An American Thing
“The first 2 years of her life, Keyrielle developed normally. She met all her milestones such as rolling over, creeping, walking, and learning new words. I used to write down all
the words she would say. She had over 80 words!
But a few months after, she just stopped talking. She stopped saying the words she knew and became a very reserved child. She also wouldn’t respond to her name or
any verbal commands.
Keyrielle was diagnosed with moderate autism. Autism? How odd! The only knowledge I had about autism was watching Oprah many years ago when several parents were sharing their journey with autistic children. I always thought autism was an “American Thing.” It never dawned on me in a million years that I would one day have such a close encounter with autism.”
—Kareesh, autism mom
