’s even more amazing, he has full control over his pupils, and can see colors. This makes him a lot like the movies, he can see colors. I think he has the ability to see beyond the normal red, green,

and blue. I also think that ability to see the colors of things is what gives him his unique "senses."

Kawahara says he learned this about himself about 3 1/2 years ago, and it makes perfect logical sense that he would know about it by now. However, I was not aware of this until he came back from his studies.

He is so curious about things. I can't believe that he’s so interested in our planet, studying it, learning about it, and caring for it. It makes me so proud to be his friend.

I think the best compliment I can give is not to get mad at him, but rather to allow him to express his thoughts. I sometimes get so frustrated with him, especially when he gets angry, and it’s just the most frustrating part of parenting. But he’s so engaging and curious and so full of joy, I think I’m going to enjoy being his friend even more.

I know I’m not a psychologist, so I don’t know what to think or do. But I am so grateful to have a friend like him. I just wish I could express how incredibly thankful I am.
