My son is autistic and non-verbal. He is having a lot of intervention right now to help support proper language growth and he is thriving. While he cannot tell me with words that he loves me, he shows me in all of his unique ways. Still, I hope for the day that I hear him tell me that he loves me. It something I have noticed a lot of parents to allistic kids take for granted.
