Timothy from Texas

Timothy is a shy and bashful young man who does not like making eye contact. However, once he is comfortable with someone he will make a little eye contact but does not hold it for long. He plays well with others but often prefers playing alone and loves helping his caregivers with bringing in the groceries, sweeping, raking leaves etc. He loves playing with Legos and watching cartoons. He is also very proud that he taught himself how to ride a bicycle. He loves attending school where he's in Life Skills classes and receiving speech classes. He is making great strides in school and learning to form letters and learning his colors. He has a great understanding of words, but has difficulty forming words for speech. He is ready to find his forever home.

Timothy and younger brother Robert have a strong family bond, connection and special language they speak with one another. Timothy and Robert are both diagnosed with Autism and has speech delays, in which both have received speech therapy at school and currently seeking community services to help in this area. Both are making great strides in learning to talk and express themselves. Timothy and Robert are both happy children who love receiving attention from their caregivers and love playing with hot wheel cars, Legos and playing outdoors either by themselves or others. Timothy and Robert are healthy, happy boys who enjoy the company of others. They both love going on family outgoings, trying new foods/restaurants and exploring new and other exciting things and places.

A two-parent or single parent family will best meet Timothy's needs. His forever family will provide a loving and patient environment. He will be best served with a family familiar/trained in intellectual delays, but not limited abilities.
