Victorious Christ
There is a complete misconception that autistic people aren’t empathetic.

Mary Garden Medallions
I have previously talked about Prayers Without Words and how valuable they can be for anyone who finds participating in verbal prayer challenging. I discovered a new product to recommend that may help learners who have problems with verbal communication or prefer visual/sensory cues to aid with prayer.
