    My autistic daughter can’t sit still ...

    Hi, My autistic 8 yr old girl can mostly not sit still. On her worst days, it seems like she’s writhing. Shes always been this way as far as i can remember. She gets ABA therapy. During the parents meetings i can see the video feeds from all of the other children in each room. The other...

    My 5 yr old daughter suddenly will not wear..

    She has been the type to strip down to diaper when entering the house. But now its nothing but the breeze.. She has quite the fashion sense. Dressing up in many types of costumes. My favorite was the sequin dress, the seafood steamer basket hat, mary poppins big shoes, and the slinky as a...

    Difficulty With Social Codes

    This seems straight out of the famous Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People. “To make friends, to be honest you have to make yourself interesting and be interested in things in them that you don't believe are interesting. At least that's what I learned, I'm not saying it's THE...

    Difficulty With Social Codes

    And people that spend alot of time in that domain? I dont think they are enjoyable to be around usually. I’m like, hey, say what you mean. Its easier and honest.

    Difficulty With Social Codes

    Im supposed to be a normal. Although, lol, I’m not good at it sometimes. If I understand what you mean by the term “social codes”, they are hard to follow along with, even for normal people. And they can be stressful for normal people. Sometimes there are communications or there is information...

    I Wish I Was Helped

    Steve, What things do you want to do with the computer? Most of the time, I’m just messing around on the internet. Reading stuff. I go to my bank website and transfer money so i can use my debit card. Right now, I’m picking out glasses and trying to enter the prescription and order them. It’s...

    Finding a school for Faraday..

    I dont think Faraday knows any thing is wrong with her. She is just fine, thankyou very much. And she likes looking at her beautiful self in the mirror a lot.

    Finding a school for Faraday..

    Faraday is not meek. Do not get between her and her fun. I get the impression that she does not care too much what my thoughts are about her. Headstrong. She likes chocky, schwidding, mooies (old musicals), dressing up like a princess, ipad, etc.

    Finding a school for Faraday..

    Hi Zebra, it’s similar in the usa. Im still learning but i think its called an IEP ( individual education plan). Where they write down what they plan to do and how they plan to get there. Also most/all of the states have mandated minimum services that a kid will get. What i’m searching for is...

    Misunderstandings

    This reminds me of something I heard years ago. Its not totally the same but i hope it helps. It goes something like this.. There are A-holes in the world. Everyone meets them, and everyone eventually has a bad experience with one of them. Its what people make of it, their analysis that is...

    Misunderstandings

    Good analysis. That kind of stuff is not easy to ferret out. I am impressed.

    Finding a school for Faraday..

    Aren’t speech therapists pretty much required by most states special education rules? They say that ABA therapy is very helpful. But many times it is 1 on 1 therapy and therefore pricey. Any school districts that can provide say 20-30 hours a week of this? As for Faraday, she always gives the...
