Hello my name is Liz. I have two kids one has developmental delays, and the other has speech delays. I babysat for an autistic boy while I was still in my hometown of San Francisco. The boy was 9 years old, and on the severe side of autism, but very sweet. I have less than a years experience with autistic children. I have so far 8 years almost 9 with my daughter's developmental delays. I have almost 6 yrs with my son and his speech delay which I'm working on getting it fixed for him.
