Library Item Name:

Boy's autism fades with holistic approach 		   
Summary Statement:

It wasn't long ago that Christian was listless and absent. He has autism, and it made him absorbed in his own world, grunting and humming all day as he obsessed over a single toy.

His parents, Chelsi Dailey-Coate and Brian Coate of Lacey, had little hope their son would ever talk and play like a normal child.

Then, about age 3, a breakthrough: Christian turned to his mother and planted a kiss on her lips.

"It was the most dramatic thing that has happened. It kind of opened the fog," said Dailey-Coate, a 2002 Timberline High School graduate.

Christian has continued to recover, and today he is an active chatterbox, constantly bouncing from one activity to the next. He knows his letters and numbers and is learning to read.
