We are work...Oh my goodness, I am still laughing... We are working so hard to minimise the damage my uncensored use of expletives has done to B's speech (nothing too terrible- just damn & the s-word). I am working very hard to tame myself as we try to find ways to channel the emotional thrill B gets from saying these words (it's not just the thrill of ticcing-off his parents, either, he really likes them). We're trying to divert him into using the japanese terms... at least not many people here can understand... In the meantime I try to remind myself that echolalia is also the reason B sings so well & can repeat anything he hears in japanese perfectly.
