Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 I gave up on the velcro waist towles that my sons and husband have all used back when we only had one bathroom. But Elie won't use that either. And he won't wear a robe. Heck - the towel across his shoulders is a big improvement from nothing. Now if I could get him to keep the door shut from his hallway to the LR, I wouldn;t care!!!

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Hi Sara, Zeb has to reminded often to not come out of his room in underwear if we have company or to shut the bathroom door etc. He hates to shut bathroom doors. He understands the privacy part but only when he feels like it or if we have company. He doesn't get excited around girls or at any other time but he does like girls. He has a girlfriend that does come over occassionally when I have time to offer the line of sight at all times. She is more aggressive than Zeb and will initiate the hugging, kissing etc.if Zeb doesn't. Zeb thinks it's great. I do not think he knows to do anything beyond that but the girlfriend does. It is a worriesome situation for me. I have spoke to both of them but Zeb doesn't get exactly why I think that it's not appropriate. We see this behavior all the time on tv in so I can understand why he would be confused.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 I guess one big plus we have is that Elie watches little to no TV. HE prefers the dependability of videos- musicals or Sesame Street or opera or any tenor singing. So he doesn;t see the promiscuous behavior on TV. Lately he has taken to wanting to see WALKER while he eats dinner. But I worry more about the violance - he sees it as dancing!!!! Also, the girls at school (there are 2 in his class) are NOT aggressive but very passive.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Hi Sara, Yes, it is a good thing. Zeb also sees and hears plenty at school from his typical nondisabled peers. I have to take the good and deal with the bad. It makes my job harder.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I worried alot over what Elie would be exposed to in his regualr h/s after 4 years in athe protected setting of an APS. But honestly, he sees less inappropriate behavior, less foul languaage, and less " acting out " in the regular school environment - even though he is still cocooned in the self contained class - except for lunch, and his dance class with the jocks!!! Maybe because he is in a country school - I am there all the time and do not see the out of control sexual acting out that was common in our local PA (outside the big city) school. There are no gangs, there are no kids parading down the hall locked in an embraace. It just isn't the " thing " here.
