Glad to hear your nephew is doing well. Strange that some kids actually seem to be 'less' autistic than others, even though the medical diagnosis is always the same. A buddy of mine has a severely autistic child, and he has to be monitored 24 hours a day, everyday. He's been known to try and eat all sorts of dangerous things; glass, dirt, household chemicals, etc. He's 11 or 12 now, so childproofing doesn't really work anymore... they basically have to always make sure there's nothing dangerous in their entire house that the kid can get his hands on.

He's improved slightly over the past couple of years - he doesn't purposely hurt himself as much anymore - but he still has a long struggle ahead of him, and so do his parents. Your sister is definitely blessed if she's able to let her guard down around your nephew.
