I really enjoyed last week’s edition of GulfWeekly, particularly the front page story headlined ‘Plea for support’. I have a 10-year-old autistic nephew back in the UK and he is simply a joy to be around, but, because of his condition, he can sometimes be a handful.
 
It is often very challenging to care for an autistic child, but the rewards of doing so are beyond profound. Each child is unique but with the right support they all have the potential to live highly functional and fulfilling lives.
