About Ricky

Ricky Wilson is a 24 year old child that was diagnosed with Autism at age three and a half. At the time he was classified as PDD but was further diagnosed as having autism. As is common, Ricky appeared to be a normal baby but between the ages of three and four he had regressed developmentally. The regression affected him socially and academically. By age four he had become non-communicative and disconnected from his surroundings. His life since then has provided both joy and challenges to his parents and guardians, as well as many others that have been involved in his development. At this time Ricky still lives at home.
