Austin Reid

Austin is our latest little star appearing on The Circle. Austin is our nearly two year old dynamo who is achieving lots of milestones that he was never expected to.

Austin's has overcome a very traumatic birth where it took four doctors to resuscitate him. Due to the lack of oxygen over seven and half minutes to the brain, Austin was diagnosed with severe brain damage and subsequently Cerebral Palsy.

While Austin has CP with sensory issues which make its hard for him to work out where he starts and finishes, he has managed to learn in an amazingly short time how to crawl and now to walk with a walker. Austin loves being able to get around on his own and is busy tearing around the lounge room with things that were impossible to reach now tantalisingly close.

Austin loves to dance. His favourite music is Numbat and Friends, the Wiggles and Playschool. He is currently going through a phase where he likes to create ambiance with his meals and won't eat until his favourite tunes are playing in the background.

He has just received a specially designed bike and absolutely loves it.
