"Katie has beautiful blue eyes and lovely blonde hair. Her laughter can fill a room. She has a strong, solid body that can jump high in the air and balance on narrow ledges. Katie finds pleasure in simple things. To her, a weed is as fascinating as a flower. Katie can entertain herself for long periods of time. She lets you know what she wants by taking your hand and leading you to the item. She can look you in the eye and give you a hug, and those moments are very special. Katie also has autism."
