Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hi everyone. My name is Naresh and my son is 6 turning 7 in April. He is autistic. I have so many things to share and also learn from all of you. My boy has come a long way since he was diagnosed at 3. He is a very happy and smart kid. He is non-verbal but not totally and understands a lot. His verbal communication skill is very little but he understands a lot more. He goes to ycap in kisd. He sometimes does things so normally, like normal kids would do, that it surprises me. He has just started liking Tom and Jerry, classic cartoon. Before that, he was always stimming on videos with lots of lights and shapes, numbers and alphabets. Now, he actually seems to understand the humor of regular cartoon shows. The most surprising thing was that I was watching afv (America’s funniest home video) the other day , and he really laughed at what he saw on tv. He has been doing this for about 2 weeks now, so it’s a totally new thing. And 3 weeks ago, he was even teasing his teacher, which has never happened before. One of his teachers’ names is Ms. . Anyway, the name of his former teacher was Ms. Schneider. Every morning, he has to greet his teachers with their correct names. That morning, it was Ms. who came to receive him, and at first, like always, he said ‘good morning Ms. ’. After that, he had the naughtiest expression on his face and he had a wicked smile, which was very cute, and started gently poking at her belly, looking up straight in her eyes saying ‘Ms. Schneider, Ms. Schneider ha ha ha ha’ and we all laughed. And he did the same thing the next day too. But he hasn’t done that again. So after that, he started finding it funny to see Tom chasing Jerry. He still likes Tom and Jerry. Anyway, this much for now. I hope there are parents who can relate to my son’s story. Naresh --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!
