Not at all! In fact, this year's Easter Seal's poster child is an Aspie. He

goes to Boone's school. I think he's in second grade.

I'll try to find a link. It was on our local news here in November. He may

be the poster child for the local chapter, but I'm pretty sure they said

national poster child.

I can't find a link but I checked the Easter Seal's site and it doesn't

mention him there. I have written to the TV station to ask them. Maybe it

was local or state.

But there are a lot of autism pages on the www.easterseals.org website.

Sissi,

Sounds wonderful. We had trouble with the machine, was more

interested in playing with it than talking. It sounds like its been

great for Boone though.

Maybe he's the king of lazy speech. I think lots of auties have this

syndrome. I think they need to practice talking like a bodybuilder

to gain verbal strength. I do these emotional situation flashcards

with and he complains his " eyes hurt " , or his " head hurts " , and

will say something about the picture in relation to what he wants to

do as opposed to looking at the picture and saying something

relevant. tries to do his 2 or 3 word thing, however, he is

going to a great school and they dont allow it. Really, I guess its

just such an effort to talk that its the easier way. However, when

he wants to, will repeat the same stuff over and over, seems

that takes more effort. I think jabbering, babbling, whatever, is

actually good, however annoying, I think it shows wanting to

imitate.

Sissi,

This is just so FANTASTIC for you and your family!! This unit seems to be

helping him make a connection between the things he's been hearing all along

and the fact that it actually means something when it's said!!

I just remember that he kept going on and on about the time change and how the

clocks were " wrong " . LOL! Never clicked that he wasn't saying entire sentances

about it.

Thea,

You may be right.

I admit I haven't worked as had as I should with Boone in that department. I

was so damned thrilled to be able to communicate at all (PECS) that I didn't

push too hard.

I think he's definitely ready now though.

I love this machine! Not only is Boone repeating the sentences recorded on the

audio card reader, he's suddenly just " talking " about things. There's a lot of

jabbering, but he's trying very hard, you know?

Yesterday his dad and brother were sitting at the table. Boone said, " Let me

sit down. "

He has NEVER said anything like that before and it's not one of the memorized

sentences.
