Lorrie Lengyel - Preemie Child Member

Hi. My name is Lorrie Lengyel.  My son Tyler was due on February 2, 1995. He was born on November 13, 1994.  I was 28 weeks pregnant and he weighed 2 lb. 5 oz and then went down to 1 lb 11 oz. 

Tyler is hyperlexic and is diagnosed in the autistic spectrum. He went to school full time in an autistic preschool. He was able to read at 2, knew his ABC's at 18 months and could count to 100 before he was 2. He is extremely affectionate and is talking and communicating a lot better since school.  He used to only communicate his needs (juice, video, CD-ROMs, etc.). Now he will communicate other things as well ("I'm sad", "good morning" and "gimme kiss" to name a few) and he is becoming a lot more social.  My husband and I have high hopes for Tyler. I see little improvements in him all the time.

I also have a younger daughter named Summer. She is the best thing for Tyler. Forces him to interact and fight back too!
