Gieno Clemente Cardoza is a 13-year-old boy diagnosed with mild autism. He was born healthy but experienced language regression between 1-2 years old. Gieno's autism manifests as difficulties with verbal communication, repetitive behaviors, and limited vocabulary. He attended special education classes from ages 6-10 before entering mainstream education. Currently, Gieno struggles most with vocabulary and sentence construction, though he excels in math. The author recommends continued family support, social interaction opportunities, tutorials, and applied behavioral analysis to help Gieno progress.
