So I have a part time spot available, and a woman contacted me today about her son, who is 2 and a half and has mild autism. She mentions that he is very easy to transition, is gentle, and although not very verbal, is happiest around other children. I am excited. I feel like he would be a good fit for our group. Is that weird that I am excited?? I think I am partly excited that it's not another infant inquiry, and another part of me is excited for the challenge.

Am I being delusional?

Do any of you have experience with autism? Mild autism? Anyone with autistic children? I am reading like a madwoman, and can't wait to meet this family.
