Wednesday's Child: 7-year-old Wyatt

BOSTON (MARE) - Wyatt is a happy and energetic boy of Caucasian descent. He loves to run and play and enjoys reading books and listening to music. Wyatt does well in school. His teachers are calling this year "The Year of Wyatt" due to his academic gains! Wyatt gets along well with other children and adults. He has a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and has the services he needs to be successful.

Legally freed for adoption, Wyatt would do well in a family of any constellation. He would like to maintain contact with his birth father and siblings. Wyatt's social worker is looking for a family that will help to support his needs. He would do well in a home that is active and can provide structure and routine.
