When Emily Colson’s son, Max, was diagnosed with autism, her friend said, “God works through these children. They are a gift. Max is a gift.” Consequently, Colson refused to allow labels like “noncompliant” and “unteachable” to define Max. As she explains in , she rejected the world’s “Can’t Do” list for him, and, with God’s help, met him where he was and joined him in his interests. In the process, Max became a teacher to many, including his mother and his grandfather, Charles Colson.
