Wow, that's great, and he can run to you when he has a problem and when his parents don't understand him!
My day was boring, except for talking to my son and my friend. I did laundry. I slept for 3 hours, about. I need a coffee. I need to focus on my long to-do list. But there's nothing on it I can do today, except talk to people.
I can relate to a lot of things he is going through right now, so i can give the parents a little bit of insight into the struggles and can help my nephew to cope with everything in order to be better prepared for life than i was.
Right now sensory issues are a very big problem and i am trying to teach him a few things to non-verbally express his distress whenever he is close to a meltdown. He is wonderful! He is absolutely smart, can read very well already and his special interests include road signs. It reminds me of my own childhood when i see him being excited about these topics. Unfortunately, his father doesn't really understand him and mostly lives in denial about his son's condition which leads to very harsh emotional outbursts. I am not very fond of him.
