‘My 7 year old with autism's Queen obsession taught him to talk, he's devastated'

While the rest of the nation continues mourning for Her Majesty, one little boy from Worcester has been left especially devastated by her passing. Jack, 7, has autism, and it was his adoration for The Queen that saw his development and behaviour come on in leaps and bounds. He lives with his older sister Charlotte, 11, welder dad Steven, 38, and care assistant mum Melanie, 37.
Here, his mum Melanie shares their story... “Watching in disbelief as Huw Edwards announced the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the II live on the BBC, I squeezed the hand of my seven-year-old son, Jack. Jack has autism, and for years he struggled with his speech, behaviour and development.That was until he started to learn about the royal family at school.
Jack became fascinated by the monarchy and fell in love with the Queen. I knew this news would hit him hard. I crouched down next to him and saw that his eyes were full of tears as he stared at the TV.
‘Oh Jack! It’s okay!’ I soothed, as I gave him a hug. But I knew there was nothing that I could say that would make him feel better.The Queen had played such a huge part in his life.The early years of Jack’s life had been extremely difficult for both of us. I have an older daughter, Charlotte, 11 and was working as a care assistant..
Juggling work and looking after two young children was extremely difficult, particularly as Jack displayed challenging behaviours from a young age. I worked nights, which didn't allow much time for sleep! Jack was a very unsettled baby – always crying but would never let me pick him up and comfort him. It was difficult to spend quality time with my husband, Steven, 38, a Welder Fabricator.
