This is a beautiful way to show God’s love to a child with autism. All children have special gifts.

Yes, Nancee. Professional counselors, school personnel and churches can be a great support to parents and grandparents of a child with autism.

Everyone needs to know someone thinks they are special, valuable and loved no matter what. You can research activities the two of you can do together. My friend makes creative characters out of felt.clay.or coloring and makes up stories about them. This way there is a connection to you and communication. That they can re-read and remember. God bless you

The boy is now 15. He’s still struggles but he’s been getting help over the years and he is learning to manage himself. I really suggest that getting into a professional counselor who deals with this kind of problem specifically and make sure that he gets special needs help in school. Many churches have programs for special needs kids as well that give the parents a break
