I adopted my son when he was 18 months old. He is now 14 years old.The only word he could say was umbrella. He could take a telephone apart and put it back together. Yet, he did not know his colors and ABCs. They just know what intensely interests them. My son can now understand complicated Algebra problems and gets the answers right, but can't understand why he gets marked down because he does not show his work. He just knows. Enjoy it as I do. Your son will start to advance and you will be amazed at what else he knows.Janice in WisconsinOn May 11, 2010, at 6:33 PM, Amy wrote:My son is cognitively behind but yet he can run the DVR and any show he wants to watch perfectly.

It is such a strange thing...I do enjoy watching him and I can ask him for any show and he can put it on. But yet it doesnt appear like he can read. Also he is so good at video games, it is amazing he has been playing them since he was 3 and can beat any adult that plays him. It is actually when I see him smile most. It is adoreable.

Dear Amy,

When my son was 3 we had about 8 Blues Clues VHS tapes. He would take them all out of their cases & put them on the floor. We would mix up the tapes and he would still be able to get them all back into the right cases on the first try even though the tapes just had the name written on them. He also put them in the order that we purchased them. He is 12 now and has about 50 lego bionicles that he disassembled over time & created new creatures. Now that the Bionicles series is being discontinued he has decided to reassemble them into their original form. He can tell us where each came from and can reassemble them from memory. When he was in OT they said that he was a visual learner. He amazes me everyday.

I amn ot sure how to spell it but it sounds like he might be hyperlectic. It means very good with numbers and letters. My daughter is almost 4 and she has been reading the titles of the tv for her movies since she was 3. From: Amy <amym321@...>Subject: ( ) DVR Date: Tuesday, May 11, 2010, 5:33 PM

(now 21) was similar. He didn't even know his letters yet. But back

when we used VHS tapes that we recorded and had handwritten (cursive and print)

the labels, he could pick any one out we sent him to get. Even made a " game " of

thinking of names for him to find and having him go pick them out. Right every

time!

I noticed also that when I'd be reading the paper, he would point and say the

names of stores we'd go to, that type thing. I sort of get how he could do

that, but not the VHS tapes that we never went over with him as to what was

written on them.

Surprised me too when he was good at puzzles, the younger kind where you would

dump the pieces out and the outline was left on the board as to where they would

go. I had gotten him & his twin (NT) some, and figured I'd have to help him do

his. Nope! He took right to them and his twin was very upset that

could do them so fast; prior to that, the twin had been better at everything!

It's amazing isn't it! My son could operate electronics at two, and my daughter

could run the dvr at three. At three my son got on the computer and opened

outlook express trying to send me an email so he told me. We don't even use

outlook express. He had seen his grandma doing it once at her house, that's our

guess anyways. He also quotes infomercials. I think kids on the spectrum often

times have splinter skills, single areas where they just pick up things easier.

My cousin has autism and memorizes the codes to their security system. They are

constantly having to change the codes because he tells them to people.

I know it is very amazing. Today I tested him to look at all of his DVD's and to tell me what their names were without the boxes and pictures to go with them. He could name each and every one of them and he has like 35 of them. It reminds me of a photo memory and my son is visual learner. But then I never taught him how to play Wii or Nintendo DS or put a DVD on the computer to watch and he just did them on his own at age 4. But it confuses me so much because then they tell us he is very cognitively behind. It is so odd. But I have to admit it makes me smile everytime he does these things.

I am convinced my 4yo can read, but he is afraid that I will stop reading to him

if he can do it himself. He knew all his letters and numbers prior to his 2nd

birthday. When he's riding in the car he reads all the signs we pass and the

sides of semi trucks as well. He's always been very visual, like a photographic

memory, spooky at times. But if I ask him to read a book, he get's upset and

tells me to do it.
