Re: Warning labels, tags etc.

How well does she talk? When my son was three, he could barely speak. He was

always pointing to written things and going " Unhhh? " He learned how to talk AND

how to read from having us tell him what everything said. By the time he was in

4th grade he was reading at college level! Your daughter may just be thirsty

for knowledge.

By the way, his first words were Coca-Cola. (What can I say? It's a bright

red can---very eye-catching!LOL)

I know this is good that she is curious but it seems that she will ask over

and over and as if she doesn't believe me when I read them to her. lol

Her school says I should tell her then ask her what I just said to her if she

reasks. But that doesn't seem to work. It seems an obsession to her to read ALL

labels. She even showed me a piece of chewed up napkin and wanted to know what

it said? It had no words (plain white) Am I missing something here?

That is great that she is interested in words. Great opportunity to teach her

phonics and pre-reading skills. My Aspie was am early reader and I really

think that ie helped her with a lot of her aspie issues.

Now she is obsessed with " What did we do for Valentien's Day when I was 3? "

" You didn't envite me to your Wedding because I wasn't born yet! " She was

actually yelling at me for that one. Let's just say the girl LOVES any excuse

to dress-up, dance and have a party.

Funny reply was the other day she was asking me what was on her juice cup. I

tell her it says NUBY. Again whats it say? NUBY. again what it say? NUBY so

after the 100th time I was half listening and I replied " OH Crap " I didn't think

anything of it because at the time she just mumbled and walked off. Hours later

she wanted a sippy. She hollers " In the crap ba-ba (its her sippy but she still

says bottle) OK from now on I watch very careful what I say!

She was interested so I taught her. 2 of my girls knew the alphabet by being

able to sing the song and by letter recognition at 2 yrs old. Those 2 were my

first readers. At 3 Hannah was doing very well with phonics. I just talked a

lot about letters. What sound does that make? What letter does that word

start with. I made sure that they always had access to books, pencils, crayons

and paper. Funds were (are) short. i bought paper & books at garage sales and

Goddwill & the like.

Hannah scripted a lot too. But as she became a better reader her speech

became much more appropriate. She still gets prepositions confused.

I would suggest when your daughter says " Does it say? " Tell her to say " What

does it say. " Always correct her incorrect language.

Going along with the scripting, Hannah always had and still has stories going

on in her head. We really tried to limit how much tv she watched. But early

on I HAD to let her watch tv even if she scripted it because she wasn't

literally climbing the walls and be dangerous when she watched tv.

When she is scripting we tell her to stop. She will sometimes just laugh out

loud and I know that she is scripting in her head. I try to get her thinking

about something else to stop the " film. " I find she has a harder time with

this when her yeast is high. Over time she is learning to adapt with these

issues.

But her scripting in her head as lead her to being a good story writer. I

mentioned here a few weeks ago that she recently won a Young Writers contest in

our county. I'm so proud of her. She is in first grade and she won the 1 & 2nd

grade division. We are anxiously awaiting to see if she places on the state

level.

Tammy,

Hannah had autitory processing issues. Our kids are visual learners. Most

of our interactions happened in the kitchen while eating, cleaning up dishes or

making something to eat. My kitchen was decorated in the style of

" pre-school. "

If this was Hannah I would have gotten out a piece of paper and written the

word NUBY then pointed to each letter and sounded the phonics for each letter.

The first day of 3 yr old preschool Hannah could not say the name Trent. I

showed her teacher how Hannah learns. I wrote the name on the board, sounded

out each letter then said the name with her a few times and she had it.

Maybe your little one is desireing this also. Let me know how it goes.

A psychologist told me that the repetition is just a way to know

that all is right with their world. The AS kids are let loose in the

world without a map and they like to hear the same thing because it

is soothing and usually predictable. My husband sometimes retorts "

What did I say? " When all my DS wants is to know that something in

his day is predictable. So I repeat things over and over....but

sometime I interject something silly.

Thanks so much I will try that and see. I spend almost all of our time with

either books, crayons or a magnanoodle.
