Osborn stands with his hands on his hips, looking the tree over, eyeing the spots where he plans to plug in a branch cut from the spare tree. “This tree needs a fitting,” he announces. “Where’s the drill?” he asks Howard. Once he finds a gap, Osborn tries out several spare branches by pushing them into the spot and checking for size, color (the shades of green may vary from silver to blue), and variation (the density of the needles will differ depending on what side of the mountain a tree is grown on). Howard steps back to inspect the look. “There’s a relationship between the height and the width of the tree that you must keep in mind,” he says, and he gives Osborn’s branch his approval. Howard then drills an angled, inch-deep hole into the trunk of the tree while Osborn uses a butcher knife to whittle the end of the branch down to size. Then they hot-glue the branch into the hole.

The drawn-out formal assessment and diagnosis did not start for Halia until she was 10 years old.
Kylie said that she realised her daughterâs social awkwardness, high dependence on routine and the quirky speech patterns that made her stand out from other children.
