More and more autism cases are popping up across the country causing serious concern for awareness.

Johnny Robinson of Harrison County looks just like every other boy, but unfortunately his brain doesn't work the same.

United Rehab Occupational Therapist Ginny Vincent works with Johnny often to get him through bad days.

They work on skills including social, motor, and communication.

Johnny's mother Lea says, she started noticing a change in behavior when he was around two years, but doctors told them every child grows up differently.

Around three years old he started stereo typical behavior such as lining up objects, lack of speech, and a decreased attention span.

Now at six years old he goes to kindergarten at Nutter Fort Elementary School, plays tee-ball, and most importantly socializes with other kids.

A usual set back for him is when his routine is changed, but his four year brother Luke brings him out of his shell.

Lea Robinson says, and when he's had a bad day he always leaves United Rehab on a positive note, and he couldn't live with out them.

Lea and her husband John want people to be aware of autism and the struggles many kids go through.
