Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 Casey did really well yesterday. The loud music didn't make her sit down and cover her ears. At one point there was a really loud feedback screeching sound that I thought would have affected her, but she kept her place on stage and waited for the show to go on. Casey is considered non-verbal (she can approximate words when prompted) so she had no singing solos, but she was on stage, copying hand and body movements, for the entire show which lasted 25 minutes!! When my 12 yr old son and I met her after the show she was so happy to see both of us. I held her pretty face in my hands and told her how proud I was, and she looked back at me with her big blue eyes and the biggest smile on her face. And, of course, the d*** camera didn't work. Oh well. We have spring break next week, so I probably won't be on line much. Thanks, __________________________________________________ Quote

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 tracey while to some they may lack seeing the event for what it truely was for you but I to see of this joy that comes from you . Casey showed you her ability and that she does comprehend more than others might think and loved being a part of..... She may be to ahve so focused on the event and doing a good job that she was not responding to the otehr sensory stuff that might have shut of her down if she were not so focused. If you to do scrap booking it would be of a great memory and you can still be to type out you words and buy of cute theme things to go around you words to the event since you camera did not be to work, Sondra In Autism_in_Girls , McKinless wrote: > > Casey did really well yesterday.
