I have an 11 year old client with Asperger's Syndrome who has taken a keen interest in birding like a bum on a baloney sandwich...I gave him a field guide.  I would like to give him access to maybe a small group of young birders (older kids, young adolescents) to give him a social opportunity to expand his knowledge and current obsession.

  Any thoughts?  I am a psychotherapist for inner city children/adolescents/families in Cleveland.

  He is pretty amazing.

"Look at the birds..."  Matthew 6:26

    I look at the birds because I believe they will carry the messages of my heart upward to our Creator.   I look at them because I believe in their existence, the way their songs begin and end each day–the invocations and the benedictions to God Himself.  I look to the birds because they remind me of what I love rather than what I fear.  And that God's eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me!
