No, although he does exhibit some autistic charachteristics that hasn't been diagnosed yet. He was born with his skull bones fused so as he grew his brain had no where to go. They did surgery at one year. His forhead protruded too much so that was corrected at the same time. He also has an extra chromosome but so far they havent' figured out exactly what effect that will have, if any. He is very hard to describe. At first glance he appears fine but when you watch him for any length of time you can see problems with interacting with people, speech, etc. The doctors feel that over time he will catch up with himself, but they are vague about what his long term challenges might be.
