Paul is currently 3 years and 11 month old, now attending K2 (Kindergarten) in Hong Kong. He was diagnosed with ASD at 3 years and 5 months old. His mum reported that he exhibits language delay, can only say short simple sentences. He has difficulty in speaking in longer sentences and following 2 steps or more instructions.

Paul presents several behaviour problems. He is unable to sustain attention nor focus on tasks at school or at home. Although Paul is generally able to listen to parents, he will cry and throw tantrum daily, especially when his requests are denied. He also has eating problem, requiring 6 hours to complete a meal.
