I wrote the book, "My Son, My Gift...Living with Autistic Spectrum Disorder"... the best gift I ever gave to Paul is God's unconditional Love. I too am a pastor.

When and IF we grow up, we will be grateful! I have a 48 year old with mid-range ASD...tough, tough years but my greatest gift.

What is interesting is this, in the time of the Christ if parents had a child like this, what are the chances they would simply say he is possessed by a demon, they hear of the Christ and they take the child to the Christ, and say to the Christ, our child is possessed by demon, it causes him to be filled with rage and he bashes his head against the wall or the floor, and he is a mute, for he has not spoken for years, can you heal our son, will the Christ say to them, he is a gift of God and tell them to go on their way, or would he heal the child and restore the child to full health, what is impossible with man is not with God, for all things are possible with God, when a man seeks to resolve a situation to bring forth help by the power of the world, then in this, the power of God is lacking, it is one thing to feed the pour it is another to make them rich. It is like a blind man who boasts of the Christ and the power of God in his life, yet he still remains blind, I say to you this, when you utilised the things of the world in acts of kindness, it is the power of the world we use, and not the power of God, so in this, there is a kindness which is an act of love because we give to others who are in poverty and helps them in their lives, but the power of God is far beyond acts of kindness, it is the power to restore all things.

Not all autistic people want to be 'healed'. Sometimes, they like some parts but struggle in other areas. It is who they are
