A visit to Saint Nick

  If someone has a child with autism a visit to Saint Nick can be something to avoid.  Although Hollie always wanted to see Santa, she wouldn't get too close, or sit on his lap.  Kids, or adults, with autism very often don't want to be touched, held or in any way too close to someone else.
  I found an article the other day about a special program for kids with autism:
You may have seen photos of some child kind of pushing away from Santa, maybe that was autism, but in my estimation Santa scares small children, they don't want to sit with him.
That's it! I outta here!
That's as close as it gets, that boy has no intention of sitting with Santa.
