He is my step son. His mother left him when he was 3 1/2 and I've had him ever since. He was non verbal except ma and pa for awhile. But he and my son who is 5 developed a secret language or more like my 5 year old could understand my step sons personal language which was kind of a sweet thing to watch. I'm objective and my step son is very objectively charming. People really like him. He won't turn the head of every girl as I stated but he will find one if he ever becomes interested. He will be 17 in less than 2 weeks and is not at all interested. But that could change and we will see what happens. He may never care, not everyone does
