week april 12 to the 16

This week we learned about brain development and the stages of cognitive development. My sister works with a little autistic boy. He is only 6 years old and he has lots of thing wrong with him. Studies show kids at his age are going through preoperational development. He is not really learning to talk; for him to tell you want he wants he points and grabs for thing. For how old he is hes a whole development behind all the other kids. The stories my sister tells me about the things this little boy does; are a lot like the things that the little 1 and 2 year old I babysit do. This little boy acts like he is 2 years old and he doesn't even know that he should be acting more mature and should be talking a lot more than he is. I feel bad for this boy because he can't help that his brain isn't developing the way it should.
