The dad of a non-speaking, autistic boy has had the alphabet tattooed on his arm so his son can always communicate with him.<br /><br />Dan Harris, 45, had the £180 tattoo completed on his left forearm two weeks ago after he became concerned that son Joshie, 10, can't always tell him what he wants.<br /><br />Joshie, who was diagnosed with autism when he was two years old, uses an iPad, also known as his 'talker', to communicate his needs using simple words and pictures.<br /><br />However Dan said the iPad can run out of charge or become damaged or lost which means that Joshie is left without the means to express his feelings.<br /><br />Dan, from Peterborough, Cambs, said: "Joshie comes into my room and touches my arm first thing in the morning to check the tattoo is still there.
