My five years old autistic son
My five years old autistic son Sasan is a phenomenal swimmer.
Nothing like any thing I have ever seen or heard.
He started to swim at age 10 month and by the time he was 3, he could swim in the ocean without any help or devise.
At age four, he swam with sea turtles in hawaii for the first time and at age 5 with dolphins in Roatan.
I have heard many stories of kids with savant abilities however I think my son's abilities is unique.
He can swim to the depth of 15 feet and hold his breath for almost 30 seconds.
I just though to share my story as with all the difficulties with bringing up an autistic child, there are also some blessings that makes it worthwhile.
