Love this ♥

Autism siblings tend to share one common and wonderful trait, which is that they are incredibly compassionate. This is something I have observed with my own children, as well as stories I've read. My middle son Cole has always had an unspoken understanding with Luke. Maybe it has to do with the birth order and him being born after Luke, but I think there is more to it. I absolutely envision advocacy in his future. Luke's baby sister Emily adores him. You can see it in her eyes. It doesn't hurt that Luke has a certain charm about him.(Plus an irresistible smile!) If you've ever met him you'll agree. People that know Luke all seem to have a special place in their heart for him. We are lucky to have so many people in Luke's life that genuinely want the best for him. This includes family as well as people that we've met throughout this journey. Everyone truly loves to see him progress and succeed. It seems that so many family members have gone out of their way to do what they can to ensure Luke continues to progress, as well as learn what they can about autism. We are truly blessed.
