Love the caption just as much as the picture. And small feet...what's not to like about that?<br /><br />Clearly many of his T.O.M. components are intact, including Cause & Effect. Good for him! <br /><br />And I love baby powder, a sensory thing for me!<br /><br />I love Simon B.C. too, and I don't think he means "all or nothing" when it comes to mindreading. Many kids miss interpreting some of the emotions and body language correctly. Some more or less I suppose. I also think it happens much earlier than the Wikipedia reference explains. <br /><br />Leo used to get confused with deceit - ex: when someone would be telling a lie and they'd be smiling. The words and the face didn't "match", I would say. I used to cut out pictures from magazines and various junk mail the tough ones for Leo. He used to get Surprise and Mad mixed up all the time. We also used Simon B.C.'s Mindreading CD to help us figure out Leo's triumphs and challenges in this area. <br /><br />A good friend of mine has Aspergers, and we occasionally video tape him (at length) having conversations and hanging out at home with family. We'd then watch it together and compare notes, because he hated it when he would misread a potential date! His "inside" would often not match the "outside" like Queenbitch refers to. This really seemed to help.AshleyLeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063238658873407897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-80129318879940520212006-11-29T13:20:00.000-08:002006-11-29T13:20:00.000-08:00Hi there...have witnessed similar with my aspie ne...Hi there...have witnessed similar with my aspie nephew. Also, along with having problems with empathy, his own facial expressions remain the same, so it is sometimes impossible to empathize with him. Sad and frustrating.<br /><br />I like your blog and appreciate your visit to mine! Hope to see you again soon.QueenBitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13379533753423513458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-84279964198920047082006-11-28T14:21:00.000-08:002006-11-28T14:21:00.000-08:00A child the nerve endings all scrambled like the p...A child the nerve endings all scrambled like the pieces in the proverbial jigsaw box?kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01104388229716638534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-35617669535278873012006-11-28T12:50:00.000-08:002006-11-28T12:50:00.000-08:00Early on we thought Super D might have a host of i...Early on we thought Super D might have a host of issues, sensory integration being one of them...I used to also assume he was deaf. I could go drop a box of utensils behind him while he was stemming to Toy Story and he never heard it. What was I to know...also, the Cohen you quoted...you know he's the dude that plays Borat's cousin, right?<br /><br />Talented family, no?Jerry Grassohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900836236599920524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-72265900899611941232006-11-28T05:48:00.000-08:002006-11-28T05:48:00.000-08:00Thanks for stopping by my blog as well .[mathema...Thanks for stopping by my blog as well .[mathematical autism ]Best wishes to your boys .Hope you know you've got yourself two 'Einsteins' and two Nobel awards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-6279630564955685532006-11-28T05:07:00.000-08:002006-11-28T05:07:00.000-08:00Thanks for stopping by my blog and reading about m...Thanks for stopping by my blog and reading about my sister-in-law, Trish.
