She'd insist that she didn't want to laugh, but she couldn't help it. You helped me understand a little better, I think.purple_kangaroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02543172194041505144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-36705480176834092602006-11-30T13:20:00.000-08:002006-11-30T13:20:00.000-08:00Facial disconnect-----I think this is Charlie, ind...Facial disconnect-----I think this is Charlie, indeed.kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01104388229716638534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-89242272028423746162006-11-30T08:22:00.000-08:002006-11-30T08:22:00.000-08:00I agree!

Brendan has had similar experiences with looking at pictures of himself & in mirrors since he developed his OCD 2 1/2 years ago, right on the heels of finishing 2 years of visual/perceptual therapy that allowed him to see & recognise faces (which he could not do before). The co-incidence of these events is not lost on me... Imagine our dismay when we took him to a glassmaking centre & museum last April & he couldn't bear all the reflecting surfaces (we took turns hanging out with him outside while the other looked around inside). We have had to remove all but one of the pictures of Brendan sprinkled around the house, since he was in constant tic/meltdown mode from them all (one remains so that we'll know when he's ready for them again :). One thing that helped him with looking at family photos was when I put funny stickers (talk bubbles & the like) in the photo album. He looks forward to seeing them & will now occasionally take out the album & look at it independantly.

Not appropriate, but pretty normal as you point out. <br /><br />I'm also fascinated by the dinosaur-teddy ratio.
