Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I really like what Gutstein has to say and what tools he uses to help with interrelational skill development...it is NOT social skills training but true relationship development that teaches you/the children to read the very subtle behaviors of others to " know " what they are thinking. One of Gutstein's concerns is the safety of our children with unsavory people. www.rdiconnect.com I think the DVD or video is very clear on what he is talking about and most of the children seem like Asperger's and my son is severe but it is working very well with him. > Speaking as an adult with Asperger's I can attest to the loneliness. The desire to have friends but no clue how to make them. I can talk to people very well on the computer but face-to-face it just isn't successful at all. > It is hard not being able to have people over or not being able to go to military functions with my husband. I can't wear the clothes necessary for it and I can't be in a room full of people like that. > I don't want to say I want to cure myself of my kids, but I would love to be able to help them. > MISSY > SAHM to some special kids!!! > > I am who I am because that's who I am > --, 5, Aspergers > > > All kids are gifted; some just open their > packages earlier than others. > > -- Carr > > Re: don't cure your child! > > > > Hello, I would like to add that those who have autism are probably > much more lonely with out knowing why or what to do about it... it > is really sad that my 8 year old does not have any friends ( lots > and lots of people who care about him of all ages even peers but no > real friends-) my 2 cents Ann > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
