Welcome to Steemit fellow 'strayan!
Music is definately an amazing tool for making emotional connections with people - I have 2 non-verbal autistic kids myself and the right tunes (and timing) can make a massive difference :)
Following you now, best of luck here - btw you may get a better response if you tag your post with "introduceyourself"
Hey Ausbitbank, my first reply and a meaningful one! Unlike some other platforms I don't care to mention.. I hear a lot of controversial arguments regarding autism. I rather listen to others than propose any such causes or remedies personally other than to say I understand if you have a busy household :-).. Thank you for your reply & tips on 'Introduceyourself'. I'm still watching You tubes on figuring that one out as it is early days for me here. I will follow and add the tag. All the best for now .. ;-)
Aha yeah its a bit of a touchy topic with a lot of people, you'll find people across the full spectrum of opinion here on cause/treatments etc.
You've stumbled across a funny little part of the interwebs here, it can take a little while to get used to but it's definately worth the time and effort :)
Have a good one!
Yeah, I really like it here so far. Definitely in for the long haul. Cheers..
