When she drove by the playground at school she could pick him out easily. She documented that he was out on the playground most of the day. He has autism and they felt it was easier to give in to his tantrums and let him swing the day away. W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 I've told the story many times of leaving school during recess when she was in kindergarten. A woman 3 blocks away saw in her yard, recognized the school uniform and called the police, who came and took back to school. In the meantime, the school was locked down, and everyone was searching for . One thing we identified from this was that you couldn't pick out in a crowd. The public schools wear uniforms (which we love), but then again, there is a big sea of khaki and green at recess. We bought a neon yellow tank top, the type runners wear (it was vented with those tiny holes, and also short waisted). Every day before recess would put on her yellow top, and then was easily spotted. For winter time I have always purchased her a bright red or bright yellow winter coat. She loves the bright colors, and is still easily spotted in a crowd. Now is 11, and has not tried to run away for several years. However, I still am on my guard, I just can't say for sure that she won't do it again. We always are talking about her boundaries, and so far she has done well. At the school we attend now, there aren't uniforms, but the playground is smaller and fenced, and knows she has about 20 minutes or so, and she doesn't want to lose recess time, so she buckles down and plays.

Everyone has their " beach " bathing suit, which is one piece (so as to not lose a bottom in the waves.... it has happened, just not to us :-), and the brightest, most obnoxious neon color I can find. Last year it was lime green (the color of the season I guess), so they all had some version that was mostly that bright green. This year seems to be bringing dayglo orange, but it works! I can count my brood easily amongst the sea of other suits..... especially when they are playing together. Soon they will resist, but for now, it works! I also do this at theme parks, other places that are crowded..... usually they all pick red shirts or tye-dye..... they are getting the idea! , mom to (7), (5 DS), and (3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Hi You got to keep the orange shirt on too! It was downright cold at Silver Dollar City last Sunday and we got the kids some warm clothes until it warmed up. put a grey sweatshirt on . When he didn't come down from Geyser Gulch I was looking all over for a kid in orange! By the time I had worked my way through 500 kids and thousands of balls, there he was with Mom and the other kids at the entrance! So keep those orange shirts on! (unless it gets cold, and then try to find an orange sweatshirt!)

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 here's one for ya just this week I brought my twins to kindergarten orientation the kids went with the teachers and parents stayed with the principal. Because I know my daughter she also brought her God mother with her down to the class room. so she proceeds to act up and not do what everyone else is doing so her God mother decided to leave thinking she would act better in a group of people she doesn't know. gave one of the teacher's Kat's hand and told her she will take off so keep a close eye on her. came down to the cafeteria for about 15 minutes she then went back to of course find no Kateri! She asked each teacher where she was they all thought each had her! so as maria is starting back down the hall to look for her hre she comes down the stairs and runs into the cafeteria boy was she scared! so do you think she's ready for this environment? What a day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
