Re: Asperger's-keyless locks

November 16, 2010

Here's a tip: get a push button lock--my son is a senior in high school,

and still uses his:

Push-Button Padlock

Keyless, high security push-button padlock. Comes with a factory set

combination. Lock is chrome plated and rust resistant.

This is from the Lighthouse for the Blind--which also has lots of good

gadgets that support our kids and their tendency to lose things!

Boy, you hit it on the head for my guy! My 11 year old read a book out

loud to me, we were hoping he'd get a better test score. 50% only!!!!! This is

a kid that reads non stop, remembers amazing facts, tid bits, you'd be

amazed, but we seem to literally " flunk " every test he takes or do amazingly

well. One week a perfect spelling test (excellent memory skills), the next

week, 12 out of 30. How can this be!!!

We are having focus issues here. We lost 17 pencils the first 3 days of

school. I just now make sure he has 2 pencils in his case daily. Most days

those are gone. He has a locker and moves from class to class. We've lost 2

sets of colored pencils now. Doing pretty good on clothing. Eventually gets

back home. We also had to have his lock changed to non operational, he can

not work it. We got a lock to practice at home, he doesn't get it! Not

tying his shoes yet either. Scary! He's like the absent minded professor!

Thankfully well liked, nice little boy and polit. Boy, I pray some day it will

all click. It's a lot of the same conversations over, and over, and

over......

My girl just doesn't get things and people are always yelling at her. For

example:

All the girls in school were to sweep the floor and make their own piles

to pick up. My girl went around picking up all the piles when she was not

suppose to. (The girls wanted to pick there own piles up.)

Out at breakfast, my husband asked if he could taste my girl's pancakes,

she put picked a piece up in her hand it slapped it (innocently) on the

table in front of him.

My brother kept telling her to not step on a certain part of the patio he

was putting together, she just kept forgetting and stepping on it.

She loses one sweatshirt a day. Honesty. I buy them at the thrift store

because we go through so many.

I was reading up on Asperger's and it sounds familiar and I was wondering

what others thought?

These are built into the lockers. The school gives the kids their combination!

Thanks
