World Autism Awareness Month: Hunter's story | People

WEST FRANKFORT, IL (KFVS) - With April being World Autism Awareness Month we asked viewers to share their stories of friends or loved ones with autism.

Brooke Weston from Georgetown, Ind., originally from West Frankfort, Ill., sent us this picture of her brother Hunter Vanwey. She said he is 10 years old and was diagnosed at the age of one with PDD-NOS.

Weston said her brother loves Thomas the Train and their mother is his number one advocate. She said her mother does this alone with the help of their grandparents.
