He forgot how to wave goodbye, say mama or baba, or blow kisses. Lachlan has been diagnosed with moderate to severe Autism. He is unable to communicate and often has severe mood swings. When he becomes overstimulated, he may react as if he is drunk or drugged, jumping up and down and making strange noises.
