Autism and David by Lavendar Jazz Friday, April 18, 2008 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan My nephew was born with Autism. He has Asperger's syndrome and is very intelligent. He does not understand facial expressions and non-verbal communication. He does not like to be touched or hugged. He has had a difficult time in regular school because the teachers and students don't understand his disorder. Thank God he will be finished with school this year. God is good.
*Autism and David* David was a beautiful 5 lb. baby boy his mother’s first bundle of joy she was oh so happy the day he was born six months later her heart would be torn. Statistically, he was the one born into an Autistic world one out of 94 sons He didn’t smile at his momma’s face he looked straight through her as he stared off into space. David would get anxious and scream so very loud his mother couldn’t take him into a large crowd He didn’t speak much until he was two there wasn’t much the doctor’s could do The doctor’s didn’t offer too much hope I guess Autism was out of his scope. David was the exception because he learned to talk some of the children are mute and can not walk. Thank God for David he is set to graduate with his high school diploma in the class of 2008. © 2008 Lavendar Jazz For more information on Autism please click the link below:
