Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Oh my gosh, Connie. All my students I teach are all saying this. I thought it was an urban thing, since 95 percent of my school is Hispanic and African-American and my own children have never heard this expression. I told my family this past week how this is really annoying to me......LOL. For instance, I reprimand a student for speaking out without raising his hand first and he says, " Oh, scuse me Miss, my bad " Ugh! I hate it!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Isaac went through about 4 months of adding " buns " on the end of everyone's names......mommybuns, daddybuns, foleybuns (his kindergarten teacher)....EVERYONE. He finally got over that and now he is fixated on " smells " . Whenever we see someone we know, he announces that " ______ smells " fill in the blank with whoever he sees. Really annoying when we first meet people or people who aren't used to being around Isaac....like at church when we'll see someone and he'll say, " Jerry smells " . -Jill Mom to Isaac (6, DS), Lydia (12), (20) Word fixation Hi - I was wondering if anyone has had an issue with their children picking up a word (like stupid) and constantly using it...my son has started using the word " stupid " and nothing seems to be working to get him to stop...we have tried ignoring, rediecting, timeout, soap and loss of priviledges...nothing seems to be working...the main issue is his school they are not able to deal with this issue and have gone to calling me daily over the last week wanting me to talk to to make it go away...he is mainstreamed with a para...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 In my limited time with Noah (including the time I was being courted by his dad) I've seen Noah go through a stage (which apparently lasted more than a year) of saying everyone was " fat " ...(as I write this I wonder if he was hipper than we diagnosed at the time as was really meaning Phat! lol) He'd say " Daddy's fat " (he is) or Hannah's fat (she's a rail), which would get giggles because she is a rail. Noah is usually somewhat guarded as a person with strangers but on my first trip out with him to Lexington (1.5 hours away from where we lived at the time) we were in and Nobles, and I was getting help from a nice young fella, about 25, trendy looking with goatee thing etc, and Noah reached out, touched the kids gut (about 25 lbs overweight I'd guess) and said " your fat " ....the fella took it in stride, while I stood there shocked Noah would touch a total stranger and insult him, all on my clock. I explained hastily to the dude that Noah calls his nearly anorexic sister fat too, and that it meant only good things. Noah's dad did notice over time that Noah really only used it for people he likes. He has also gone through " DUH!!! " being his favorite word. Someone's posting their kid says " smells " after stuff reminds me that Noah likes to say " stinky feet " and wave his hand in front of his nose if things get too dull...he figure's he'll get the " do not " " do so " argument going... who is " phat " but does not have stinky feet (-: Re: Word fixation Oh my gosh, Connie.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Nic says " NO! " , initially, to everything. it's like an automatic response. He'll even yell it when we are talking to someone else or the dog. No matter what you ask him he alsways says " non " first then after the question/comment sinks in, then he'll answer appropriately. His teacher also makes a big deal of it and counts it as a " bad bahavior " . I think it's sinking in to them (school) after many meetings with BS's, that it's automatic and not necessarily defiance. We're trying everything...pepper on the tongue-he said " yum " , time-outs,no tv nothing is working so far.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 lol Nic was holding his nose and saying " PU , snark " (his word for skunk). How embarrassing! He would only do it to certain people. I have no idea where he got that from.

For I think it is more an auditory processing issue or simply put- he needs to stop and think about the question before answering. I try to make sure that I slow down my speech before asking a question, state the question as directly as possible and in general give a longer pause for him to answer. I think for our world just moves way quicker than he can handle and he is used to not having time to think through his answers. That is just us. I'm not assuming that is your situation.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 's word fixations change regularly. Saying " you're so silly " is one that has stuck. Also, anytime we tell her to do something she doesn't want to do, she says, in a sing-song voice " borrrring " . When Cheaper by the Dozen was first out on DVD, it was " wicked boring Mom " .

Karyn I heard an OT, also the parent of a child with DS, talk about the file folders in a brain. She said it was the best way she could describe it. Her son with DS would have to put his current thought back in its appropriate file folder, put it away, and then find and open the new file folder. She used this example to explain why her son would initally say no, then change his mind after he had time to fully process what was happening. She used this example when talking with the reg. ed. teacher about better ways to give her son instructions, info, etc.. Sharon H.
