I've never thought that no (and I just looked at "Max's Breakfast" book and still don't). He seems like a pretty normal toddler to me. The weird thing about the story line is how the parents are nowhere to be found, and Ruby is mean to Max. :/

I assumed he was a toddler because of his behaviour and speech. If he's 5, then he's definitely developmentally delayed, but I don't think there's enough evidence to say it's autism.

EDIT: Max is 3 years old. http://www.nickjr.com/max-ruby/about-ma ... cters.html

Edit again: you beat me to it.

Nope my mistake he's only three but he does however only says one word phrases

Probably just a little speech delay

I like how everything is free of charge in their world. Just walk in to the store and ask what you want and leave.

I don't see anything other then normal toddler behaviour.
