My 7yr old stepson has low functioning autism.
He’s non verbal (can’t speak) and has the the intellect of a 18m toddler
He suffers from lots of problems across the autistic scale, Tourette’s, ocd, repetitive disorders the lot.
He goes to a special school in Hinckley
There the bad points..
The good points are.. he’s the happiest kid you’ll ever meet. Never gets upset or aggressive.
He’s constantly laughing and smiling as he hasn’t a care in the world.
To him, every day is a new adventure even though it’s the same as the day before.
Unfortunately I probably could never take him to the football, but he inspires me every day.
