What sticks out about Alex is how friendly and inquisitive he is, and how he views everything so wondrously. He will approach you with a smile, which he wears most of the time, and answer your questions with questions of his own, responding often with a delightful, squealing laugh and remark that often catches you off-guard. He’s one of a kind, and in a good way. While Alex also likes his alone time, he engages well with a group, including with his peers, and the adults and staff in his life. He desires to work in a helping profession one day, and his dream-day includes a nice visit with people he loves, whether they be with his workers, professionals, or especially his siblings. His growing collection of matchbox cars brings him hours of entertainment as well. Just a great youth!
