It has been a crucial part of mythology as well featuring the ancient Greece. Basically, this inspired a lot of writers in coming up with ideas that struck the world. Among these were Sophocles, Herodotus and even Homer. This was one of the implications brought by the occurrence. There are still many Trojan War facts that owe to be discovered. What are these?

The site of Troy, together with its rediscovery, transpired in the 19^th century. This is now known as the western Turkey. There were archeologists who were involved in uncovering the kingdom’s evidence. There were claims that this was put into destruction way back 1,180 BC. This even triggered in forming tales. This was recounted by Homer by then. It transpired 400 years in the popular Odyssey and Iliad.

The narrative

A lot of narratives say that the war started when the then Queen Helen was abducted. She was reigning in Sparta during this time. The abduction was initiated by Prince Paris. Her husband Menelaus was influenced by Agamemnon, his brother. The latter was acting the king of Mycenae. This was led to the retrieval of the queen. This was attained through an expedition. Achilles also joined Agamemnon. Achilles was known as one of the Greek heroes. He was with Ajax, Odysseus and Nestor. There was also a fleet that accompanied them in the process. The ships were then perceived all over the world of Hellenic. During the venture, the Aegean Sea was crossed by them. The same was also true with the Asia Minor. This was a way to demand the returning of Helen. The Trojan king, Priam, took charge in returning the queen.

Throughout the siege, stories of the death surfaced. This included prince Hector, and as well as Achilles. Such occurrences were observed for almost a decade. This only halted to a stop one morning when the Greek armies decided to retreat from their very camp. This triggered them to leave a large wooden horse just outside the gates of Troy. Parallel to this, debate was also observed. There were also warnings sent by the daughter of Priam, named Cassandra. It was the Trojans who decided to pull the known mysterious gift. This was directed towards the city. As the night touches the day, the horse then opened up. This was the signal for a troop of Greek warrior to enter. Odysseus was leading here. He climbed out and even sacked the Troy. They did this from the inside.

The defeat of Trojan became evident then. This was the sign for the Greek heroes to go home. In order for arduous to be made, Odysseus spent almost 10 years. This was interrupted though when he was about to approach Odyssey. During the war, the husbands of Helen were killed. This was the reason why she returned immediately to Sparta, having Menelaus around.

It was our son’s pediatrician who suggested that we have Dalton tested for autism. He is also the one who referred us to the infant/toddler early intervention program in our county.

Every state has some sort of program which is designed to give early intervention in the form of education and therapy for children with various labels and levels of developmental delay.

Dalton started out with speech, occupational and behaviour therapy. What we did not realize that after the first evaluation, they were suspecting autism, but never broached the subject with us. They labeled him as having a developmental delay with possible signs of autism, but they really didn’t go into detail about their suspicions.

To be fair, I do not know if we would have listened. Behaviour and occupational therapy went very well and Dalton actually blossomed with those therapies and picked everything up very fast.

Speech therapy was difficult. Dalton hated it and sadly within just 3 months, we were given 4 different speech therapists. The need for qualified speech therapists is high and unfortunately the number of qualified speech therapist is very low.

Our decision at that time was to stop the therapy. So many people were telling us stories of how they themselves or someone they knew talked late. Dalton was sweet, well natured and didn’t seem to us to be anything but a little quirky. We decided to take a break from all of that for about 4 months and see if he was just one of those kids who needed a little extra time. After the first of the year, Dalton still did not have any speech.

I decided to enroll him in a mommy and me type of class. The class was set-up for children 18 months to 3 years of age. Mothers stayed for the class and it was set-up like a preschool. We went one day to see if it would be a good fit for Dalton. That is when I realized that Dalton’s problems were far beyond just being a late talker and a little quirky.

From the moment we went into the classroom, he found all the round objects he could. You never realize how many toys have round objects until you have a child obsessed with them. He then went to a table and spun. For three hours I could not get him away from that table and those round objects.

He usually loved snack time. He would not go and have a snack. He usually loved to play outside. When I tried to get him to go out he just screamed and had a meltdown. The only thing that calmed him down was going back to the table and spinning the objects.

At the end during music time, he was willing to sit in my lap, snuggle and listen. He has always loved music.

I could see the concerned look of the teachers in the room. They suspected something was not right.

I went home, held him close, brushed the hair from his eyes and for the first time dug deep into my heart and listened. I realized that it was time to finish getting Dalton tested for autism.
