He’s a cute kid.

He was born in June 2008.

His parents are Patrick and Lia.

He likes macaroni and cheese. He loves to laugh.

He is doing things at his own pace. He’s been very slow to learn things like walking and dressing himself and communicating. We don’t know why, and neither do any of the dozens of “ologists” who have met him. Sometimes kids like Joe are referred to as having a “Syndrome Without A Name (SWAN)”

Here is something his mama wrote about him in December 2011.

Here’s a speech she gave about him in May 2014.
