Guest guest Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hi all - This came up in a previous thread, and it really made me curious - how common is imitating cats in kids with AS? For quite some time now, my 3 year old has meowed when he is happy or when he sees a cat. He refers to himself as a baby cat, and it is generally quite cute. Lately, though, the cat behaviors have been increasing - for instance, he has started hissing like a cat when he is mad at us (although I can't even recall a time when he saw a cat hiss in person - we don't have a pet). The other day, my husband dropped our son off at preschool and mentioned that as he drove away, he saw our son standing in the middle of the playground meowing loudly, and that he thought he was meowing to a teacher. Sure enough, when I asked our son about it, he said he had been meowing for his teacher to come back to him...needless to say, she did not understand his cat language and we have suggested that he try using his words in the future (hello, pragmatic language difficulty!). Anyway, I was wondering about the group's experiences with their kids being cats! Thanks, Bridget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
