Caleb was two when I noticed changes in him. He feared nothing and no one. Always roughhousing with his older brother‚ Jackson. Jump on his sister every time she walked into the room. If I didn’t keep a close eye on him‚ somehow he would end up climbing a tree or over the fence into the neighbor’s yard. I would tell myself‚ “he’s just a boy.” However‚ he wouldn’t talk to people‚ avoided eye contact‚ and absolutely hated it when people touched him without permission. In daycare the other kids didn’t
