This article by Anthony Esolen (Professor of English at Touchstone College and senior editor of Touchstone magazine) has been on my mind. He wrote it a few years ago about his relationship with is son, Davey, who is autistic. It is subtitled “Anthony Esolen on the Divine Music of an Autistic Son”. I encourage you to read it (and anything else by him as well): “Davey’s Song.”
