Hi everyone, I have an almost 6 year old with high functioning autism. For some reason she gets really aggravated at meal time prayers. She say that she wants to pray, but when given the opportunity just screams "No, I don't want a turn, but I do want a turn," over and over. We made a chart of whose turn it is each day, and that helps some. The worst is when we're at a bigger family dinner. I'll set her off and she will cry the entire way through dinner. We've tried telling her in advance that Grandma (or whoever) will pray, but it doesn't seem to help. I'm not sure what she wants. Last time we just tried skipping the out loud prayer and she flipped out about that too. It's a no win.
