The church is very accepting of all children including those with
autism. There are wards everywhere that
have children with autism in primary.
They are sometimes given an individualized teacher to help them learn
gospel principles. The church encourages
us to be accepting of all people and to invite them into our lives. Harold G. Hillam, a member of the first
quorum of the seventy said, “When we see the effect one person can have on the
lives of so many, it perhaps is no wonder that the Lord reminded us, “Remember
the worth of souls is great in the sight of God” (Hillam, 2005). We need to remember that children with autism
are children of a God who loves them and we should treat them as such. This
means placing children in the environment that is the best for the child. Some children may thrive in a public school,
others in a private school. If we love
and care for these children, we can help them reach the potential that our
Heavenly Father has given them.
