Hi Sondra,

What is your diagnosis? Can I ask you a few questions that will help me

understand some of the things my daughter does?

My daughter at times makes sounds and often repeat scenes from movies that

she has watched. Am I wrong for stopping her?

Also at times she hand flaps - am I wrong for stopping this also?

Shanequia , a yes to all you answers they are wrong to a degree from you

perspectives but have to see it from hers, is she trying to communicate to

you, is she trying to relate, is she trying to bond by means of the things

she does understand and if you stop this then are you aware that you might

instead be stopping her attempts to communicate to you, relate to you or

bond. Many want to extinguish many things of us and lack the truth behind

them, I to always say be cautious of what you want to extinguish because you

may be to shut off her attempts to communicate in the only fashions she

knows how.

I have learned the hard waway to pick my battles with ie.

I too occasionly ask her to put her hands down (she is usually

flapping arm and hands), to stop rocking when we're in the car or

(her one-on-one aide will ask her)when she is on the school bus with

the other children. I absolutely feel that any form of masturbation

should been done in private like her bedroom and no where else.

ie will probably go into scream therapy from all her childhood

frustrations with her mother, but I try to help her fit in, ie

has to survive in the world she was born into.

I do agree with Sondra that she is trying to communicate, but I just

don't want her being too unusual a rose at it.

Much Love,

, ie's Mom
