HI! My name is Austin.
“I draw exceptionally well.”

Let me tell you more about myself…
I love school.

And here’s what others say…
Austin is an eleven year old legally free Caucasian boy who loves to be the center of attention. Sensitive, quiet, and motivated, he is a very hard worker and takes pride in his accomplishments. He loves to draw, build with Legos, and play with Matchbox cars. He enjoys playing board games with others or can entertain himself alone with a puzzle. He is an amazing soccer player, and his peers admire his ability. Austin is well behaved in his foster home where he is most receptive to direction, lots of consistency and structure. He does best when he knows specific rules and has firm direction. Communication can be frustrating for him as he is autistic and verbal communication is difficult. His autism is reflective in his social interactions, and he needs help with boundaries. Austin is in a regular classroom in the fourth grade although he has an Individualized Educational Plan and a one-on-one aide. He has made good process in the past year. Austin would do well in either a two-parent or single parent family with strong parental figures. He would do best with no other children or much older children who would be good role models for him. A family knowledgeable about autism and pervasive development disorders is essential.

If I could have my own special wish…
I would have a calm and caring family that would love and be patient with me.
