There is a link between epilepsy and autism. Damonito doesn't have autism but he has autistic tendencies. He has repetitive behavior (he loves to slam drawers and cupboards over and over) and he doesn't talk. However, he's a cuddle bug and he gives great hugs and kisses. When he hugs you he gives you this comforting pat on the back as if to say everything will be alright. Right now he has about a five word vocabulary. He clearly says "up" and "uh-oh" and at the appropriate time without being prompted. He's learning sign language too. He has about five signs: want, more, eat and two others he made up. We're not sure what they mean but he seems to use them at a time that makes us feel like he's swearing at us.
