Our 9 year old son has high functioning autism. He's the sweetest, funniest, and smartest kid around! Watch over a 9 year old boy with high functioning autism. He's somewhat independent but needs help with some tasks and needs someone there so he doesn't feel lonely while we work. This is a summer job for when school is not in session. We're close enough to downtown to walk to the library, game shop, arcade, and others. Several playgrounds nearby. We also have a swingset in our backyard.
