Clayton’s Garden Visitors: A Story of Autism and Feeding The Birds

Clayton’s Garden Visitors: A Story of Autism and Feeding the Birds
When Clayton and his mum set up a new bird feeder in their garden, Clayton eagerly waits for the birds to arrive. At first, nothing happens, and the waiting feels hard. With his mum’s calm guidance and understanding of his needs, Clayton learns the importance of patience, quiet moments, and staying calm. As the birds slowly begin to visit, Clayton discovers joy, confidence, and a peaceful connection with the world around him—showing that sometimes the most wonderful moments come when we slow down and wait.
