I have an adult son (in his 30's), that was born autistic. He has lived in a group home for the last 3 years.
He attended church with me, and enjoyed going, up until his 20's when our church at the time, didn't know where to put him, in (Sunday School) class, so he was placed with the young adults-which he was physically, but with the emotional intellect of a 9 year old. He wasn't part of anything they offered, and soon after, didn't want to go anymore.
Every year, with no coercion from me, he wants a daily Bible calendar for Christmas, that he reads daily, he listens to Gospel music, but also has moments where he gets himself into trouble for inappropriate behavior, and even violent at times.
It's hard to get into his thoughts, and I still believe The Lord has a future for him and I'd like to know, if anyone here has had success disciplining loved ones, or those in their church. Thanks!
