Yes, Abbey’s loud and does a lot of odd looking things.  She’s nonverbal and highly affected by autism.  I know the things she does can be really embarrassing for her siblings sometimes.  As they get older, I think it gets a bit easier.  I’d like to think and I’d hope that her siblings would agree, though, that the Abbey has a lot to teach people.  I think she’s taught us all a lot of life lessons and brought a lot of sunshine to our lives!
