Autism & etc.

I'm thoroughly involved in my job now. I'm constantly praying for my little guy at school. He's autistic and is just the funniest little kid! He was sitting at his desk on Friday, not talking to anyone, but just talking, and holding his nose and saying in a nose-plugged up voice "I can talk like this if I do this, I'm going to do this for the rest of my life" during math class!! He is too funny.

However, he is also hard to deal with at times when he just decides he's going to "sleep" on the rug in the back of the classroom. Or run around the classroom. Or slap me or the wall or other kids. By slapping I mean sort of flapping his hands to hit something. Typical autistic behaviors.

Anyhow, he needs prayer. So does another autistic kid I know. He's 16 (I think) and him and his family used to go my church and sometimes still come tho they live an hr away. They were there today (I wasn't) and on the hour long car ride home, he opened the car door and jumped out while the car was on the interstate highway. He's in the hospital in critical condition. Pray. Pray he gets better and delivered from Aspergers.

Oh my, I can completely see how someone who is autistic would do something like that. Autism is rough.
