Alex is Drawing

Up until two weeks ago I had never seen Alex draw anything but scribbles.  When I visited his class I was shocked to watch him draw a truck.  Not the greatest drawing, mind you, but definitely a truck.  He was very careful and focused as he drew it.  Three days ago he drew a person on the chalkboard, copying from memory what my mother had drawn a few minutes before.  This is what it's like with a child with autism: you never know just what might be going on inside the mind of your child.  Alex is constantly surprising me.
