Dawn,

My kids don't have this issue, at least not that I know of. I am not aware of

them having a problem with self-portraits either. I do remember that drawings

they made of themselves in early elementary school were fairly simple and there

were no hands or feet, but the shirt would match exactly what they were wearing

when the drawing was made, including rather complicated patterns.

Well Dawn,

I can remember when did this very same assignment. He enjoys

art class very much, and he did it all without complaint. He has

never said he doesn't like his face either.

But Braden - who I happen to think is very cute - has that round face

and he is very self conscious about it for some reason. He has told

us that he thinks is better looking than him. I don't think

so...but then I DID marry is round faced father!!! LOL!

In Kindergarten, when we went in for back to school night,

hanging on the bulleting board were self portraits.

all the kids had been given a piece of paper with a square

in the center and a circle over the square. they were supposed

to draw a picture of themselves. Some of the kids had drawn in

their hair color and shirt color, some had put faces and no clothes,

some had colored their hair and clothes - you get the idea, none of

them were completed! so - Bradley's picture was SOOOOOOO

obvious - it had a high stiff collared flowing purple and black robe -

(like Malificent off Sleeping Beauty)

with curly toed slippers, a big King type hat and a spector and

lots of lines that represented power!!! a mouth and eyebrows that

looked like this - V - it was soooo funny - I said to dh - find Brad's

picture

and he looked over and his eyes bulged and I really cracked up!!

dawn,

i don't think jake feels bad about his face but he has always been complemented

about his apearance. you might ask Bradley what it is about his face he doesn't

like. maybe some kids have been teasing him. kids are so cruel. but most of

us are never satisfied with something about our appearance. like i am fat.

alway having problems loseing weight. or my daughter has the most beautiful

very dark brown hair but she would like to have red hair. i tell her she is

crazy. i had when i was young red hair i guess she wanted to be more like me

but well again we all have issues about our apearance. i am also having trouble

with my teeth.(i grind them while i sleep. i wander why?) let him know that you

have you teeth, easier to eat with. haha. see if that helps. who knows?!!!

haha

take care,

Betty

did the same thing in first grade. When we went for the open house,

they had all made 'paper dolls' of themselves. I recognized right

away because I recognized the outfit she had worn to school that day LOL.

Also, hers was the only 'doll' that had it's name written in cursive. She

had begged me to teach her how to write her name in cursive. (of course,

now you couldn't PAY her to write in cursive)

Maybe a related topic: does not like having her picture taken. If I

am lucky, I can get a candid shot, but she won't sit for a picture. (she

refused to have her school picture taken last year)

********Interesting - ok - must just be Bradley and Braden -

oh no!!! it's not the disorders, it's the names!!!!!!!!! Brad and Brad!!

What have we done?????

But Braden - who I happen to think is very cute - has that round face

and he is very self conscious about it for some reason. He has told

us that he thinks is better looking than him. I don't think

Kathy - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both of my kids have round faces too- I wonder where

they get it from ???? hmmmmm. . . . .

thanks for the input. Bradley gets a lot of compliments about his

appearance. People are always telling him he is cute. He is very

particular about his hair and grooming (especially since he watched

Banderas on Spy Kids fixing his son's hair)

I think if I didn't watch him, he would do some self mutilating. He used to

hit himself in the head because " his brain didn't work right " he will

sometimes hit his legs in gymnastics (actually punch them) because " they

aren't working right " he scratches himself - things like that - but I

really get on him about it - he doesn't do it alot but i think even one time

is a bad idea.

Interesting - Bradley always attempts to write in cursive. he loves it!

He also won't sit and smile for a picture too well.

The woman at Sears was ready to pull her hair out when we got

pictures taken.. I finally told her the situation and she lightened up.

She also said a lot of gross things to make them laugh so we got

a couple of good pictures.

Hi Dawn,

i'm sorry you have to deal with him hurting himself. that must be real hard to

deal with. Jake used to wash his hands in real hot water and i would find his

hands beet red and ask him what on earth he was doing. he said he was washing

his hands. i would get after him and explain to him that he was hurting himself

then he would stop and then later on he would do it again. but that was about

all he ever did as far as hurting himself pysically. i am sorry that Bradley

feels like doing that. have you ever thought of herbs for him. it sounds like

he gets nervous and then reacts that way. like you have never heard this

before. my daughter sometimes gets emotional a little odd and i give her an

herb called passon flower which is good for the nerves. it seems to calm her

and she becomes normal again. well as normal as she can be. she doesn't have

as but one time the wife of my boss where i used to work told me about a book

called the out of sink child. she thought it would help me with jake. this is

before the dx for as. anyway as i was reading it i didn't see jake in it but i

did seem to see some traits in it the reminded me of my daughter. anyway she is

great and doesn't really have the problems jake has but well who knows.ha ha ha.

she would kill me if she read this. just kidding. she is a great girl or woman

i should say. anyway maybe some herbs would help. i use valerian root and

passion flower for my nerves and it does help. just a suggestion. take care

and give him a kiss and tell him i am thinking of him and rooting for him as he

wins the battle of as and those brats at school.

love,

Betty

LoL! Well, you know that I have no scientific data to back this up,

but in my experience, I have never met a Brad, Branden or Braden who

wasn't a bit of a challenge. If only I'd known that before I named

Braden!! ;)

Hunter was my ham. He loved the camera. I use to get lot's of

compliments on his looks. He looks like his father, my ex. Anyways if

he hadn't been so behind I think he would've been great in the

commercials. Now doesn't much like the camera. He's more shy.

Trying to get a professional pict is a nightmare. I finally stopped

trying. I just sneek around trying to catch him off guard. :)
