Guest guest Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 I to think what others might be sharing is that some of us on spectrum appear to have an over active intuitive sense that can be to have deep insight to another, for me it to be much more so with special needs or people with challenges. I to be to share things of others to them that often appear to make them wonder how I to be to know this hidden things of them, I to not be to know how my brain to do this but it does. Yet in the real of life cannot be to read or get this from facial expressions or body language it is something more profound and I to not be to have answers for it. I to know many who to know me in the real have told me the things I to share from my insight to the children's is beyond their ability to understand or know of them but so true of them. The little girl i to be to work for tells me her daughter to never connect to anyone at the levels she to connect to me, and I to her. We both are HFA. This little girl is so much like me as a child in many ways. With all my jobs I to be to able to get the children to make so much gains that others to lack in doing because of this insight to them. I to be to understand them and like one to say I to know their thinking and how they to think and play. I to often think in analytical ways and express self in my own created metaphors due to this. I to know a few others with autism who to be much like this too. I to be to see at a conference a book called the sixth sense in regards to autism and to be to wonder if this book is a new book to describe this. The ones I to know that are to be like me in this are females with ASD and have not yet met a male who is on spectrum who is like this yet. Does not mean they to not exist but just have not heard of one to express this in them yet. Sondra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 This is interesting. My husband told me that he remembered once reading that the next time man-kind evolved it would lose the ability to speak and everything would be done mentally. I know many parents get the sense that their kids are " higher beings " in some way. (Most adults can't do some of the things that my 5 year old can do.)

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Abby's EEG just showed the " normal " abnormal waves that go along with autism,nothing exciting. Still didnt give us any answers as to why she had the seizure. Pennie Abby's Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 , I have heard several moms say that their EEG's showed slightly abnormal waves. Abby's neurologist showed me a graph of brainwaves and differant disorder waves. Autism does have differant waves, Abby's showed just slight abnormalness. (is that a word?)

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Sondra, thank you for sharing this! I truly believe Sky has these qualities & it's nice to hear someone put it in words since she cannot.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 She sounds just like mine. Olivia is 2 and a half, doesn't speak, isn't walking, won't point. Shall I go on? Her sensory issues are only with her mouth, hands and feet. She has only just begun to move around holding onto furniture where as before putting her feet down was a HUGE issue. She never crawled but " scootched " around on her butt. She also doesn't initiate play and again loves when her sister takes an interest in her. I feel like we could concentrate more on dealing with these issues if we could get her gut issues under control. She's always in such pain, it breaks my heart. Anyway, was wondering how much of this relates to your daughter and if you do supplements or anything. Thanks, Rhonda Olivia's mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 , first thing I was told was to say " look at me " ANY time Allie wanted ANYTHING. When she was thirsty she would bring me the cup. I would say look at me and if she didn't look within a sec or 2 I gently held her face until we met w/ eye contact. After she began looking I would make her look longer periods. Also, with juice example, when she looked at me I would say " juice " and hold the cup in front of her. Then, after filling, I would hold out juice cup and say " look at me " again, making her look before I gave her the cup. I would also say " juice " again when giving it to her. Lots of times, when they are so used to hearing the same simple word over and over with the same action, they will say the word out of habit of hearing it. It's quite funny when they first begin, almost as if they didn't even realize they could say it themselves. What kind of therapies are you doing? Do you have PECS? That's also very good at helping speech begin. HTH, Debi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
