My name is Claire-Marie and I am Joey and Rashele's daughter. I am the younger sister to Kyler, and older sister to Mason. Kyler and I try to play with Mason a lot. Sometimes he lets us and sometimes he doesn't want to play.

Having a brother with autism can sometimes be hard because he cries a lot and it makes it hard for me to go to sleep at night. But I still love him.

Having a brother with autism can be good too because Mason is very smart and I think he is even smarter than me.

And this is how I think autism is caused....I think that while Mason was still in my mommy's tummy there was an infection that was in his brain and that if affects him and makes it hard for him to communicate.

We like to play hide & seek a lot, and Mason always hides in the same place and he laughs when I jump out and say "BOO!" really really really really really really loud. If I'm too loud my parents tell me to quiet down because Mason doesn't like a lot of loud noises.

The end.
