Yes, there has been a large energetic shift in the world since January 21 again.  The autistic child will feel the shift and they are very aware of all the feelings of others around them.  If you have an autistic child beware of your feelings,  do not try and fix your child's problems (they feel that energetic feeling), clear your negative feelings and calm your energy and ones around you and the child will also feel the calmness and react the same.
