Sven has autism and a mild intellectual disability; he communicates using gestures and some 'home signs' that he and his family understand. Sometimes Sven becomes frustrated when he tries to communicate and isn't understood. He occasionally hits out at his mother when he is extremely frustrated. If Sven can't communicate his preferences when out in the community, he has at times, run into shops or cafes without his mother and has been missing for short periods of time. Sven attends an early-intervention kindergarten one morning per week and the local kindergarten another morning each week.

(Anita Chandra, 2009) With the many studies of how the deployments are affecting the service member and the spouses of the military member, few have been done with the children in mind.
