Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 My Matt is Downs/Autistic/Nonverbal/OCD I don't mind the fact he is downs and autstic and all the query behaviors that come out of it. The only thing that really bothers me is him being nonverbal.. We do PECS ,some signs, ACC device..but its not the same. I would really love to hear what has happened at school,but his world is silent and full of mystery. I can really relate to this. goes to preschool and brings home art and I just wonder what happens all day. I would love to hear what she thinks and is feeling. Other than just tears or (my favorite sound) laughter. The driver of her van says when he picks her up, " she's in her corner playing " and it worries me that they just leave her there. But, I know its not all true. I need to get in and observe! I can really relate too to the downs not being that big a deal. We have not gotten a firm ASD diagnosis, but I know in my heart there is something there. She's not even like " normal downs kids " Quote
