A little boy

When we visited Dr Buckley on Monday, there was a little boy there who was 6. His parents were bringing him for the first time, traveling from NC, a six-hour drive. The little guy wouldn't stay still-he spent his time pacing, flapping his arms and making noise. He was very agitated and disagreeable. Most autistic children are when they are away from home. Dr Buckley's front door is very heavy and hard to open because some autistic children 'run' all the time, and her office is on a busy road. It is hard for an adult to open the door, but this little boy could open it easily. It took his diligent parents and others in the waiting room to keep him from getting outside. His parents were very young looking and had two older typical boys. They looked exhausted. My heart cried out to the Lord for them, that they would see differences in their boy soon, and that they would find peace for their souls and rest for their bodies and minds. Their son had on a tshirt that said "Mercury stole my voice"
Please ask God to touch this family today.
