This is my newphew Arik he is 12 years old.He has the mentally of a 2 and half year old.He is non verbal I mean he says a few words lol like mama,dada, papa. I would say he knows about 80 words!!! HE'S A VERY SPECIAL BOY. MY sister has so many much going on with him shes amazing mother, aunt, sister i just wish she didn't have to worry so much about Arik and her life was a little eaiser for her. I  mean Arik still sleeps with her like a baby will for the rest of his life she still has to rock him like a baby. Well what can i say he is a big baby. He will be with her forever as she is his care giver she is un able to work because Arik is high maintenance and requires alot of attention 24/7 hurricane arik! You would only get that if you knew him personally. She can have her house spotless and less then 3 minutes hurricane arik hit. I am just trying to raise a little bit of money for her just so she could have a little it more stability with him as he requires lots of medications just for him to relax.He loves music he is always listening to country music his favorite artis is luke bryan! HE LOVES HIS COUNTRY MUSIC. I am asking even to just share this....he is even unable to go to places that would watch him to give my sister a break be cause he is very high  maintenance, and just wants his Mama lol. He does have a worker but she also has her own life she is awesome with him!!!But like i said my sister is his caregiver and Arik is physically, mentally, and emotionally draining her and she is the mother of all mothers i am very proud of her..so like i said i am just trying to raise some money for her just to help with him he has so many problems with him last year we found out he's got a genetic disorder of 14 q deletion syndrome first one with his case ever know  and top that off with his autism and now we went for a heart check up yesterday and found out that his heart is okay YAY .. But doctor said something looks suspicious with the way ariks arteries are looking so back again on Tuesday do a double check of ariks case. please lord no more on top of this. Seems like my sisters list with him goes on and on!!! THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME EVEN TO READ THIS.
