Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 So then it is normal behaviour for a child BUT her still doing it after knowing not to do it is most likely from the AS? That sounds right to me. I do not have another child other than my step-son who was 15 when I moved here. He was 11 when I met him but his dad and I had a long distance relationship so I did not see him for months at a time. When we meet with the Autism Consultant I will be asking her on how to go about changing this behaviour. ~BreAnn Mom to and Josh > > Sounds like normal kid behavior, exacerbated by AS, so it might make solving the problem more difficult.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 My dd - 8 - talks about her brain making her do things - particularly food cravings and scribbling on clothing and other inappropriate surfaces. She always talks about her brain as if it is a separate entity, but my undiagnosed (but definitely AS) DH talks about himself in the third person to her eg "dd, Daddy can't come and play with now" never "I" or "me". The separation of different parts or entities seems to be part of they way they think. I always chuckle when I remember DH saying to DD "part of me wants to take you to the zoo" and DD asking "which part" and then ensued a conversation tying down which part of the brain in DH's head wanted to take her to the zoo...

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 My 8 yo Aspie daughter is always *concocting* things in the bathroom or getting into stuff. We have notes around the house that remind her "Do you have permission" And I always tell her if she has something she thinks she wants to try to come talk to me. Its helping a lot! But she still uses to much shampoo and soap in the shower which goes down the drain, but I dont stress it because its easy to clean up there :-D for her its a very tactile thing. She loves the feeling of squishy in her hands so I let her as long as its done in the appropriate place.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 It's probably easier to blame the brain than to accept responsibility for making a mess. Some kids make up an imaginary friend. Other kids blame a sibling or the dog. My own ds (now 21, hfa) used to be really tough on bathroom soaps and lotions. He loved them and he never took a bath or shower where the soap wasn't emptied, shampoo bottles empty, soap bars mushed into stubs of goo. I think it was a sensory thing with him - he liked to smush it, watch it bubble, smell it. It did make me nuts. I did get on to him for doing it but that did nothing to stop the behavior. I also learned not to spend too much on shampoos and soaps while he was in this phase. Somewhere along the way, he stopped doing it but I don't remember when - 15 or 16? On the plus side, he was very conscious of smelling nice and so during the teen years, I never had a problem with getting him to shower or having him not care that he smelled good. So that was a plus to this fascination with soaps and shampoos. He's very good at grooming himself now. Roxanna Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 yes the brain can force things I believe. My husband has AS and I reason with him about little things here or there but he has things that he tell me "flare up his asperger's" and if it is one of those things I just let him have it. He is embarrassed about his AS but he knows it is something he struggles with. I just need him to be honesty with me. I can tell when he is having an AS moment I just want him to learn to identify it. He gets really really mad at himself when it happens but I think he was just embarrassed. I don't make a big deal about it so he tries to relax more. He told me AS is a relief too because he thought he had OCD for years. I think sometimes there is a little OCD in AS People. the trick for us iwth out daughter is if she is really having a melt down or trying to get away with something.CAthy Sounds like normal kid behavior, exacerbated by AS, so it might make solving the problem more difficult.

She can mimic back to us that you only use this much shampoo and you don't squish the bar of soap or scrap a layer off, but she seems to " have to do it " no matter what. For a while now I have been putting in travel size shampoo bottle in the shower and her name is on it,,even though our shampoo is sauve and cheap, it helps. What I did last night was remove all the other shampoo and everyone that uses that shower now has to take their own in with them. Sometimes I also find reverse physcology works with her.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I have learned that when we go to other people's homes I do warn them that she does this. Even if she goes on a play date I tell the parent that she does this. I do try to not allow her to be in a place where this can happen. I now keep travel size shampoo and condish of my stuff in the shower and high up. Her expensive shampoo is kept in the cabinet high up. I finally found a shampoo that works. The cheap stuff doesn't on her. But I still have to wash her hair for her since she has a lot of curly dry hair and she hasn't grasped how to do it herself. I have her start with the shampooing and then I make sure I get it all, she rinses and repeat. It works well. The rest of the routine takes awhile so her hair is comable the next two mornings. I have now noticed that she flaps her arms when she screams out when I'm combing her hair, even if it isn't pulling. I have never picked up on that before since I am intent on combing as gently as possible. What is NT? I have not run across this but I usually read AS specific books and articles. There is so much out there as well that it becomes confusing. ~BreAnn mom to and Josh > > I am NT by the way and I totally did the same thing for years! I was about 9 or 10 and every time I would go to this one store with my mom I would ask for the key to go to the back employee bathroom and then I would open the cleaner closet and dump out the cleaning products and paper towel the room! i don't know why! so embarassing! I stopped because they stopped giving me the key one time. they never did bust me though. They must have understood. I also played a little with fire after that so watch out for that! I would burn toilet paper and then flush it real quick just to watch it burn not to be destructive. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 NT is neurologically typical. Meaning no aspergers or other diagnosis. Also I have very curly dry hair too and I just discovered that once a week I take a almost rotten avacado and one tablespoon of olive oil and pureed together and it makes a green paste. If your daughter would allow this special conditioning treatment once a week ti might really help her hair. It make my hair much more soft. You want to do it before you shampoo so you can shampoo it out because the oil is so thick water won't rinse it all out.From: BreAnn <breann21@...>Subject: Re: ( ) Question about behaviourTo: Date: Wednesday, April 21, 2010, 5:09 PM I have learned that when we go to other people's homes I do warn them that she does this.

I have now noticed that she flaps her arms when she screams out when I'm combing her hair, even if it isn't pulling. I have never picked up on that before since I am intent on combing as gently as possible. What is NT? I have not run across this but I usually read AS specific books and articles. There is so much out there as well that it becomes confusing. ~BreAnn mom to and Josh > > I am NT by the way and I totally did the same thing for years! I was about 9 or 10 and every time I would go to this one store with my mom I would ask for the key to go to the back employee bathroom and then I would open the cleaner closet and dump out the cleaning products and paper towel the room! i don't know why! so embarassing! I stopped because they stopped giving me the key one time. they never did bust me though. They must have understood. I also played a little with fire after that so watch out for that! I would burn toilet paper and then flush it real quick just to watch it burn not to be destructive. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
