A/N: This is gonna be a series of oneshots rather than a story so each chapter will probably be based in a different year. In this story, I have made Jasper's character autistic in order to raise awareness for ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and I shall also be freefall skydiving on World Autism Awareness day (and I have already raised at least £850 in sponsors!)

I have wanted to write a fan-fiction about an autistic Jasper in quite some time but I haven't had enough knowledge on the subject in order to get it right but I have done plenty of research and hope that now I can write him better.

I already have a few chapters written out but if any of you have any ideas for chapters, I would be more than happy to write them out.

Disclaimer: I do not own twilight.

Title-Round and Round

Jasper's Age- 5

POV- Carlisle's

I sat by and watched as my 5 year old son span the wheel of his toy car over and over again. His eyes never left the spinning object as his fingers forced the wheels to go round repeatedly.

I always wondered what went through his mind as he did odd things such as this. Although I had spent plenty of months reading about the disorder that Jasper suffers, I still struggled to understand why spinning things (or himself for that matter) was so exciting for him whilst other children would rather color, paint and interact with kids their own age.

Jasper had autism and he was officially diagnosed just under a year ago, though I had my suspicions when by the age of three, he still hadn't spoken a word. Even today, he remains mute, unless you count the times when he hums to himself when he's either anxious or excited.

He also had difficulty walking by himself but he is gradually getting better at that with the encouragement of my wife, Esme.

The most difficult thing to think about was how hard it is for all of us to connect with Jasper. I have two other sons; Edward is my youngest at four and Emmett, my eldest who was seven. Both are mentally and physically healthy and even they cant manage to get Jasper to join in their own games although they do try.

No, he was perfectly happy sitting by himself playing with anything and everything that spins.

I had purchased many books focused around Autism and Asperger's to prepare myself for what to expect between now and his future as an adult and have learnt that he may never be able to have a full conversation with me.

He may never be able to look me or anyone in the eyes.

He may never be able to stop his body from rocking back and forth every time he needs to comfort himself.

He may never be able to live by himself.

He may never build a healthy relationship with us...but that didn't mean that we weren't willing to try.

Jasper is going to grow up finding it extremely difficult to make friends and he's gonna have difficulty learning the difference between literal and sarcastic. We will have a hard time dealing with tantrums, but Esme and I are going to be with him every step of the way.

I realize that despite my worry about Jasper's future, he was perfectly happy the way he was. He didn't have to worry about this world because he was happily wrapped up in his own beautiful mind.

Instead, I smiled as I sat by my son's side, picked up one of his toy cars and joined in with him.

I know it's short and all chapters will be different in length. But I would love to hear your thoughts so...
