#31Autistic Child Mastering Alphabets Alone

My 5 year old son was diagnosed with autism at 2 years old. He’s pretty much non verbal but repeats things he has heard. One day a couple months ago, during ABA therapy at home he was drawing letters or shapes and we had no clue what it was. The therapist looked it up and he was drawing the Greek alphabet. Then he sang it.

He did it was Russian as well and learned how to read without anyone’s help. I’m awed but a bit freaked out when I find some new knowledge he somehow picked up. He’s a gesault learner, so even drawing he will be able to draw it almost identical to the image or video he has seen.
