Every one of us is a spiritual being, and perhaps no one knows this better than parents of children with autism. So many individuals with autism seem to "vibrate" at a frequency different from others because they are inherently gentle and exquisitely sensitive. They may more readily perceive all things seen and unseen. This may come through in a divine manner that is natural not supernatural. Does your child:
  • Have a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature, forests, lakes, streams and plant-life
  • Have an innate spiritual or religious sense that compels others in positive ways
  • Have an unspoken connection with dogs, cats, horses, butterflies and other creatures
  • Hold conversations that appear to be "two-way" with someone unseen, usually at the same place and time every day
  • Have the ability to forecast what's going to happen next or know what someone is thinking before it's said, especially with loved ones
  • Talk about, write about or draw angels or deceased grandparents (or is able to identify them---without prompting---from photographs, even if the grandparent passed before the child's birth)

If any of these areas (or others not mentioned) pertains to your child, and you are willing to share your stories using a pseudonym or first name only, please contact Bill at Bill@williamstillman.com. He has been gathering such anecdotes from parents and caregivers from all over the country, and is still soliciting your miraculous true stories of spiritual inspiration and affirmation for possible future publications.
