Wow that is big for a nine year old : ).. are you tall Meira? My

daughter is big for her age and I have NO idea where it's coming

from. I was ALWAYS the shrimp in my class. Right now she wear a size

1 shoe, which is appropriate for her height. That reminds me of

something else I wanted to mention... when was a baby, they

were always very concerned over her head size and were always

measuring and remeasuring at every check up. She DID have a big head!

My poor little guy (3yrs) cries when he see's that I'm about to put a T-shirt on

him. It hurts him because his head is too big to go through the hole

comfortably. So he mostly wears polo style shirts with buttons to allow room

for his noggin.

Yep, I remember that problem now that you mention it. Doesn't seem to

happen as much now but if ever it did she won't even attempt to wear

it, no way! LOL

I have 3 words that saved my life: ELASTIC SHOE LACES!!

I found them on line and they tie like regular shoe laces but he can

slip his shoes off and on and they stay 'tied'.

Here's a website where you can get them:

shoelaces-tie-once-and-never-have-to-tie-or-untie-again-p192805.html

We've cut down on the frustration and headaches considerably by doing

this. Good luck!

When she was that age, I'd buy shirts that were a couple of sizes

too big so her head would go through them... funny, I'd forgotten

about that...

I could never buy her button shirts because she'd chew them and I

was afraid she'd choke.

Mine didn't like buttons rubbing her chin, etc. so I went with more

stretchable necklines or those with snaps on the shoulder. She didn't

seem to mind the snaps.

DD never puts anything in her mouth....we all come from different points, huh?

I can see your struggles and you can see(hopefully) mine...such a broad

spectrum....I'm so glad we have each other to talk to and relate to :-)

"

Ditto..............my son is almost 18, never has learned to tie

well........just keeps his shoes tied and slips them on and off. "

Okay... as someone who does just that.... I find myself wondering whats

wrong with that? Not tying it at all is one thing but if its tied its

tied....

I slip in and out of my shoes all the time with them still tied and its so

convenient and wonderfully easy to not untie and retie them each time...

of course most times i have to retie after putting them on or else itll be

reallyloose and have no support....but....sometimes I dont.At any rate.... i

dont waste time untying.

We have had the same problem - it always makes me think of

Boynton's types of pajamas: " You have to have buttons if you're

a moose! " Which is extra funny, because my husband's nickname as

a kid was Moose.

Bam's head has always been ginormous. I stopped feeling remotely

bad about having to have a c-section when I found out how big that

head was. No way in hell...

Hi Liz,

My son is 12 years old and still in velcro. He is very small for his

age so that helps. Interestingly enough, my daughter, who is 8 hates

tieing her shoes also. I noticed that she and all of her friends walk

around with their shoes untied. Drives me crazy. So I'm not sure if

it's really an ASD thing or that all kids are " lazy " and don't want to

have to tie their shoes. Both of my kids do the cram and go thing

too...where they tie their shoes and then just slip them off etc.
