"Very good to meet you"

"Very good to meet you shruthi".........
This is the remark which i got last week from one of the kids who had visited our institute........
So what's special about it?
Ofcourse just to read the message it looks very simple but these words were not actually verbalised by the kid but he showed it to me by pointing to the letters from the alphabet sheet he carried with him wherever he went........
Thats because the child is Autistic (a disorder wherein, though the child has the capacity to speak n comprehend what the others' are telling still he fails to carry out his speaking capacity.....i.e his receptive language is very good but not his expressive language)......
He can perfectly understand what am i telling him but even if he wants he cannot answer me because he autistic......
But the child is fortunate that he is residing in the United States and receiving excellent special education........
Am calling him fortunate 'coz not many children with the same problem in India get the same kind of training.......
And what more, his parents are extremly supportive (though i thought his father pushed him a little too hard) .......
After i tried so hard to talk to him and he didn't utter a word, i finally gave up......
But only to find him pointing towards the letters which read "Very good............"
That gave a satisfaction.........
