I'm a little confused by your post, but I think you're saying you provide care for 2 kids that are two years old, and one child that is 4 years old who has autism. It is good to cater to his interest in letters and writing, but also introduce him to other curriculum areas because sometimes kids with autism will only like to play with ONE thing and avoid all other things, so you want to help them get a well-rounded experience. Sometimes there are programs that will help a child with autism, you'd have to look through the local school district. Out here the YMCA will help with resources for any child with autism or learning disability from the age of 3 and up. Have his parents or preschool come up with a learning plan specific to him? If so, they should share it with you so you can help reinforce what they're doing. Sorry I don't have any special expertise with autism, besides having a couple kids with it here and there throughout my preschool teaching career.
