It’s so very different having a little boy with autism. And I must admit I feel so blessed with his creativity and the fact that he is extremely high functioning.. He’s in kindergarten for his social skills and imagination only… Yet his intellectual level is incredibly high.. For a five year old little boy that’s almost five foot tall and studying at a second grade level.. It seems a double edge sword.. Already his peers are looking up at him and they do not understand him… And it hurts beyond words.. I can only hope compassion and understanding finds him as I can not protect him through every step… Though I always try sometimes a little too much…
