support goodluck

On the autism spectum, Sky is hyperlexic...he loves letters and numbers. He showed amazing reading skills at two! (He really did not understand what he was reading.) He is also fascinated with 'signing; and knows many signs.
One day, Sky went to a new speech teacher, Donna. Donna wanted Sky to say ‘yes’ each time he wanted something. She would hold an item (he’d be reaching for it) and she'd ask, “Do you want this?”
He would only get the item if he said yes. Even though he wanted the item Sky would not reply.
While the teacher had her back turned, Papa helped Sky by signing ‘Yes’.
Later the teacher said the signing was okay, because it helped Sky understand the behavior expected of him.

love & bananas from keto & sharon:)

The neatest thing happened. We were trying a hide-and-seek type game (with rewards) to encourage Skyler to say, "Here I am!" when he is called. You know, in case he ever gets lost.
Suddenly, he started singing the "where is thumbkin" song. I realized I had only been listening to the tune. But now, I heard new words. Skyler was singing "Where is (he said a name)...where is..."
So we sang, "Where is Skyler" and he sang back, "Here I am!'
He learned these words at school, during attendance check. But, we have a new use for it! When he disappears - we sing "Where is Skyler". It works!
Autism is a complicated puzzle.

Great picture. Please support me too!

Voting 4 U
I came to BF via a Kodak link that asked if I had a photo I never printed - because of "pricey ink".
I've been held prisoner in this place ever since!! Like Sysiphus, I keep pushing the rock up the futile hill. I figured out that I cannot win the Kodak photo contest because 50% of the judging depends on the entry's artistic quality ...shoot...I thought it said 'AUTISIC'!
The rate of autism increases rapidly. One out of every 150 children is born with autism - most of them boys. These are frightening stats.
April is Autism Awareness Month and the U.N. designated April 2 as Autism Awareness Day.

Nice hair!!

Today I got this helpful and encouraging message on my profile page.
"...I have an autistic boy. mild aspergers (autistism spectrum). We worked with him non-stop, and address his behavior problems with redirection, stability and medication. He will be 17 years old soon and he was just nominated for the national honor society. It is a lot of work, especially since I have 2 more the same age.
So good Luck, and keep working on it. It does make a difference."
It came from a member named Debbie. It gives me great hope for Skyler! I am so very grateful but since it's not on my vote page I cannot spotlight it...so folks please look at Debbie's page. Instead of voting for us...please go here
