trying conversation with my autistic child

this is my son and this video shows how hard it is sometimes to trying to communicate with a verbal autistic child, that doesnt want to be bothered at all and it seems like he doesnt listen, but he understands everything, its just too much for him to pay attention to. so as a parent all u can do is repeat and repeat and try it over and over again, until he answers.

At my high school, we have to do twenty hours of community service at any of a number of place around Columbus, GA. I'm a snior, and I signed up super late, even after the freshmen. I was supposed to sign up to do work over the summer because we have a senior project to do, too. One of the last place left was Easter Seals.
