Guest guest Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I have been told that some children with communication disorders like to line up toys due to frustration- not sensory -but who knows. I can tell you that in all the cases of the children that were not autistic -but that lined up toys -once speech came in this went away. Fish oils were reported to help but it's kind of hard to say if it was due to the oils -or the increase in speech from the fish oils. Kind of the chicken and egg question. Is your daughter on the ProEFA/any oils and if so which ones? Don't know about the PIMP -I never tried to change my " kiddietalk " If you really want to change it however and can't and nobody has suggestions -just create a new user ID -it's free -so probably one of the economy friendly things to fix today. ) ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I can only add that our pediatrician told us that lots of kids line up toys, and that trait alone doesn't indicate autism. Take your child to an " expert " and you may get another answer. Penny http://twoplusoneequalsfive.blogspot.com/ > > I have a 32 month old daughter dx with apraxia.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I know that this question came up at every one of my son's evals. He always liked to line up his cars. He would put them in lines, circles, according to color or whatever. He usually asked us to help and sometimes would get mad if we kicked them or told him to clean them up, but usually he was ok when it came to move on to another activity. But, my son always would/will play pretend games and used his imagination to play, so I never really worried about it. I think that it's a problem if there is a lack of OTHER types of play along with the lining up. Sometimes it can be personality, as my daughter also loved lining up items, cotton balls, blocks, household items, etc. She had no delays so who knows?
