I had a new three year old boy in my Primary class today. He sat so quietly in his chair and never said a word. After a while he seemed a little nervous and his little hand took mine. We stayed clasped until it was time to go to class. I was told he was non-verbal and then I suspected autism by his behaviors in the classroom – Mom confirmed what I thought. Such a sweet little boy in his own tender world. Mom and I will need to visit more so we can make him feel happy and safe and for sure I will reach for his little hand next week.
