I babysit for all children, it does not matter what ability they are! I babysit a child with autism each week. He has some days where he is nonverbal and all he does is scream and others where he will not stop talking to you. I have worked with a boy who has Down syndrome since he was a baby. I help him with normal everyday tasks, homework, speech, puzzles, games and outdoor activities. I am also going to college to become a special needs preschool teacher.
