Testimony for Matthias Ervin - Part 4

His parents say they’re starting to see his personality come out and he’s very verbal. He likes to say what ever is said around him. He’s even using verbal communication now. Laura says that the articulation isn’t always there, but he’s definitely trying to verbally communicate.

Robert says that now, six months after starting the program. Matthias loves to be around people and wants to be in the middle of everything. He thinks that comes from Matthias being from a big family (he and his twin are the youngest of seven children).

Testimony for Matthias Ervin - Part 3

The interview was done after six months of treatment. When Matthias came into the program he was very physical with his twin brother. His brother was always running away or getting pushed into things.

His parents and family were always trying to keep Matthias from hurting him. Matthias would make no verbal communication, little to no eye contact, and he would prefer to be by himself.

Now he and his brother play together, communicate and have fun – “they act like brothers” says Robert.

Testimony for Matthias Ervin - Part 2

When Matthias was two his parents started noticing changes in him. He started developing slower socially and verbally and in overall development, especially compared to his twin.

Matthias was seen at The Family Hope Center and diagnosed with Atypical Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (P.D.D.). Fortunately for Matthias these conditions aren’t as bad as “true” autism.

People with P.D.D. tend do be perseverant, think literally and don’t understand humor. His mother says those are just “lots of fancy words for slow development.”
