After looking back and re-reading some earlier journals, I realize part of the reason for my absence. I started slipping into severe depression about two years ago. I have always battled depression. In fact, I cannot remember a time when I didn't have it. I was diagnosed with dysthymia in my adult years, which in simple terms is known as "double depression". Couple that with my own anxiety and the issues with my kids, it's all I can do to get through day by day. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> People who are afraid of mental illness have not had any or much experience with it. So people make assumptions, which are usually wrong. People avoid because it is uncomfortable. This leaves the person struggling with mental illness feeling more alone than ever. And that is not a good sign. EVER.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Last month, Elder Jefferey R. Holland gave a wonderful-and insightful-talk about mental illness. It is the BEST talk I have ever heard on the subject and I wanted to post it <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNAx2Rgq-uI" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></span><br />

No matter what we have tried in the past-and we've tried everything-they still need a good clean out every two years. Probably sooner than that, actually. So this weekend just happened to be the time. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love <a href="http://autismdigest.com/" target="_blank">Autism Asperger's Digest</a> this month. There are some great articles on "Raising Multiple Children with ASD's." I haven't even finished reading them all because I like to savor them, like a Swiss chocolate. If you are new to Autism Spectrum Disorders-and even if you are old-to Autism Spectrum Disorders, I would definitely recommend a subscription. Totally worth it. I never throw away my copies because they are so helpful to go back and re-read. It would be a great gift idea too, with the holidays approaching.</span>THE SPECTRUM SPECTACLEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06156922917590652300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195165768050426181.post-54343648033613468292012-10-16T12:29:00.000-06:002012-10-16T12:29:02.472-06:00IN THE BEGINNING...<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">S</span>chool has begun. Our oldest is a senior and decided to go back to public school after a year of attending an online school last year. So far, she says she is not used to easy work. Last year's curriculum online was very intense and busy, busy, busy. She is sort of bored now, but likes having a routine. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">She is recognizing how her PDD-NOS affects her in everyday life, after being diagnosed last Spring. So am I. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Friends? Not so much. Just one, and as she sees this friend mature and hold down a job, plus date, plus drive...it sets her apart. She's just not ready for that--yet-and wants to be like everyone else. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As she left for school this morning, I eyed her up and down. She wore sweatpants that are too short (they're supposed to be for bed or around the house) and a frumpy sweatshirt. She feels comfortable in them and any source of comfort is something she craves when heading off into the world she's unsure of. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> She ran a comb through her hair, but has no desire to straighten it, or curl it. I've done it for her and shown her how, but she doesn't care enough to struggle with it every morning. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Last Spring, I took her to get contacts, but after she tried for 3 hours at the optical shop to put them in, we ended up leaving when they closed. She doesn't want to try again.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> What about make-up? She says she isn't coordinated enough to put make-up on. I never really thought about it before, but yes--sometimes with PDD-NOS, fine and gross motor skills are lacking. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So this morning, as she left, I tried to roll her sweatpants up to just under her knees, like I've see the other girls at school do. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"It's ok, Mom, my legs are too hairy." </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"Are you sure?" was my reply.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"I don't care how I dress, Mom, because today is Friday. No one notices me anyway."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I wish people could see her as I see her. </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">She's extremely bright with a great sense of humor. </span></span></span></span> She's beautiful inside and out regardless of the PDD-NOS. </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> B</span></span>ut then again, I'm just a mom. </span></span><br />

Our trip to Mulino, Oregon, outside of Portland, was a success. This was our first attempt to go together as a family on a vacation that wasn't just an overnight local trip. We visited my sister Liane and her hubby Paul, and cute little girl Maddy (age 3) and handsome dude, Woody (age 2), who moved there from Salt Lake City last February. <br />
<br />
We followed my mom and dad and another sister Alana, and her four kids (Raine, Aspen, Ethan and Lily) on this journey.<br />

Following my dad left me feeling very anxious because of his infamous shortcuts. Before this trip, we had talked my parents into buying a GPS and getting familiar with it, but apparently my dad just ignored the automated voice and kept driving like he's <i>The Boss</i>.<br />
<br />
We drove through desert, hills and valleys and along the Colombia River. Ryder was so good the entire trip, I almost thought we left him at home. After 13 hours, we arrived on Paradise Lane, where we would stay for a week. True to it's title, it was paradise.<br />
<br />
The thick, green trees and overgrown canopies were breathtaking. Moss grew everywhere including on the roofs!<br />
<br />
My sister, Alana, made miniature fairy houses to hide in the trees for our niece and nephew. They were so cute and fun to find. (Now the neighbor kids all search for them.) Wish I took a picture of them.<br />
Enjoy the pics. Sorry for the bad formatting. I don't have time to mess around with it right now. :)<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I wanted to share a really cute book that was written by Carol Gray, called <i><u>The Last Bedtime Story that we read each nigh</u>t.</i> This is a great concept for a book! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever read a story to you child only to end up reading book after book while your eyelids fight to stay open, but your little one requests more and more?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This book is the last book you read to your child, night after night. For kids who thrive on routine and sameness, this is awesome. Your child will know that after this book is read, it is Zzzzzzzz time. No more requests for more stories. It takes less than 60 seconds to read, and it has a rhythmic pace to it--like a lullaby. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">The author, Carol Gray is an award-winning teacher, author and speaker who majored in psychology and child development. Her post graduate work focused on special education, where she would teach social concepts and skills to children.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is countdown time. In less than six days our family will be embarking on a never-before-attempted 9 hour road trip. We are traveling to Portland, Oregon to see my sister and her family who moved there recently. The kids have never traveled in a car for longer than a trip to Yellowstone or Salt Lake City. We will either have to A) separate kids B) drug them C) threaten them with their life, or D) all of the above. The van will contain 4 sleeping bags, 6 pillows, 4 duffel bags, 2 ipods, 1 ipad, and a piggy we stole from the shed. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am most excited to show the kids the ocean. Who cares about Disneyland--a place where they each would have terrific meltdowns because of all of the people and noise-but <i>the ocean is one giant STIM! </i> They will love it! We will also be staying in Astoria, where they filled the movie "Goonies", one of my all time favorite shows. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wish us luck! :) </span></div>

I hope I can breathe then. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We have one child not functioning right now. It's been very difficult and very sad, but we carry on hoping for the next medication to help. (Believe me, we've tried ALL other avenues.) We've just received his updated testing results. We thought we were looking at possibly childhood Bipolar, but it isn't. Instead there really isn't a name for it; it just fits under PDD-NOS still. Rigid thinking, inability to disengage in his thought process. It could be a precursor to OCD. His anxiety is through the roof, and he has dropped out of everything he once loved such as school, scouts, basketball, church. Everything. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Why don't you just make him go, you ask? We've tried. He crumbles. He paces. He head bangs. He needs to feel safe. Somewhere. The school wanted us to call the police and MAKE him go. HA! How hard is it to understand that Mason is NOT doing this because he is manipulating his parents and the system? He has never been that kind of kid. He is innocent, I tell you! Yes, his behavior looks as if he is trying to get out of things that cause him distress, but take a step back and really "see". What is causing this behavior that we haven't seen since he was a toddler? He is approaching puberty, and I have heard some kids on the spectrum go through puberty early. He is 5' 9" and weighs 185 at age 11 years old. This kid has always grown fast so I am sure hormones coupled with chemicals going haywire are contributing to these daily meltdowns. He feels like he is going crazy when his mind gets "stuck". It is so sad to witness. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What I have learned from all this, is that people don't really care unless it affects them personally. The school is too worried about their numbers, or they don't get funding. After 12 years of our kids going to this school, we experienced yet another loss when we had to pull him out of school. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Here is an excerpt from a complaint letter I filed:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<span style="font-size: large;">During the 2011-2012 school year, Mason started to get
headaches. He said he couldn't
concentrate in school and couldn't understand the work. The work was getting more difficult and his
anxiety level escalated. He began
missing school days. We as parents tried
many different tactics, from a 'tough love' approach to reducing stressors and
we met with his school teacher who did a good job at helping him such as giving
him extra time to complete homework, staying after school, etc. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> According to teaching staff, he appeared at
school to be "checked out". The staff wanted to implement a behavior
plan, but we wanted to wait. There was a reason behind his so-called
behavior and we needed to get to the
bottom of it. We had scheduled many doctor appointments and were waiting to get
him in to see his neurologist. It took
some time. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the end, Mason was just not able to attend school without
a battle every day. As parents, we knew
he was deeply depressed and anxious and this somehow was stemming from
difficulty with comprehension due to his PDD-NOS. His physical complaints were an outward
display of the inner turmoil he was experiencing. He struggles with expression of speech, and
couldn't explain and didn't know why he was struggling so. He just knew he was different than the other
students and his previous attempts to fit in, such as using a sense of humor, were
not helping anymore. He was in a
downhill spiral and had slipped through the cracks. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As his mother, I knew eventually his peers would surpass him
in development, but had hoped that we could get him through 8th grade at ****
with minor issues. To school staff, it
appeared Mason had pulled the wool over his parent's eyes, and he was
deliberately being difficult because he wanted to be homeschooled. While that may appear so; one must take in
account that a child with Autism has great difficulty expressing themselves and
physical complaints are great indicators that we need to look further into what
the problem actually is. Children with
Autism Spectrum Disorders have great difficulty LYING. They are concrete thinkers. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our issues with **** is this: Making assumptions that a child is
manipulating their surroundings/parents/teachers is incorrect. Putting undue
pressure on parents to "get the child to school, even if you have to call
the police" is inappropriate. If a
child had a brain tumor and required homebound services, would there be such a
battle over attendance? Why should it be any different if a child has mental
and emotional problems? We understand **** will not get funding without a 97% attendance average, and staff are in
jeopardy of losing their jobs. What about the mental, emotional and physical
health of a child? Shouldn't that come
first before they can be educated?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We as parents felt intimidated and pressured to get Mason to
school. He had missed 16 days of school by February
2012. We had exhausted all available
resources and just needed some understanding and patience. We have been affiliated with **** since 2000,
when our oldest child started kindergarten.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Frustrated, we pulled Mason out of **** in February 2012 to
homeschool him and to get him appropriate services so that he can eventually
achieve success.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> It would have been
helpful if the school could have offered homebound services for Mason. I did not know such a thing existed until
recently. Now, because we pulled Mason
out of school, he has lost his place at ****.
He not only lost his place physically, but emotionally and mentally as
well. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A blind child would have had more accommodations in place
than a child with High Functioning Autism.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Center for Disease Control recently released the latest
facts: 1 in 88 children in the United
States are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. And these stats are 4 years old!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">
<span style="font-size: large;">PS:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There has been another incidence where we felt intimidated
by the dean, ******. Our youngest
child with severe Autism had his name drawn in their lottery for acceptance
into the school. He was six years
old at the time. The special education teacher and ******
expressed their concerns about our son's severe condition and that, because
they are a small school, they do not have the space for him if he were to be
disruptive. He would have to be taken
out in the hallway to stay. They were
also concerned that they would have to hire an aide specifically for him and
that they needed time to find someone.
They were not very positive, but by law, they have to adhere to the
rules, and it was very obvious that they did not want a child with severe
Autism to be among them. We went home to
think about it, and in the end, didn't want to cause the school to be burdened
with our severely autistic son. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Life keeps moving along. There have been a lot of changes with us since I actually blogged on a personal note. If I were to write everything down it would take way too long so here are some happenings in a nutshell. Try a coconut shell. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. I'm homeschooling the three oldest kids. (Long story...)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. I'm homeschooling. What?! I'm really homeschooling? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. I don't like it, but the alternative isn't good for our kids. For right now. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Please don't judge us. I hate having to explain to people why. How much time do you have? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Wish I had a housekeeper.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6. And a cook.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">7. And a third hand and an all-seeing eye. The kids would think that was cool.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">8. My brain is fried. (Insert William Shatner's voice here) "...My....brain....is....(wait for it)...fried." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">9. Our only daughter, age 16, was diagnosed with PDD-NOS recently. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">10. Time for lunch. ...Now where is that cook?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The above photo is a reminder of a time of bliss before Autism interrupted us. I wouldn't change it, but sometimes it really does feel like a loss. I grieve for what could have been on that path. Now I just don't know what to expect for their future, but I'm trying. As hard as I can. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">Remember the scene in the movie, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Rainman,
</i>where Raymond is trying to cross a street? In Raymond’s mind when the sign
displays “Don’t walk,” it means only one thing: “Don’t walk.” We laugh when the
sign changes from “Walk” to “Don’t walk” and Raymond stops in the middle of the
intersection. Raymond does not
understand that “Don’t walk” means many different things, depending on the
situation or context. When you’re halfway through the crossing, it means “hurry
up” instead!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">Here is another example of context blindness: When the doorbell rang,
the mother of a seven-year-old boy with autism asked him to open the door. He
opened the back door instead of the front. His reaction was logical, but his
choice of door was out of context.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">Emotion recognition training is immensely popular in the field of
autism. Typical materials used in this training are photographs or pictures of

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">Although these materials can help children with autism learn about
different emotions in a rote manner, they do not reflect emotion recognition as
it happens in real life. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">First, we rarely see faces out of context in real life. When we try to
figure out what a person feels, we look at context as much as we do facial
expression: the situation, what that person says, body language, our past
experiences with similar situations, etc. In fact we don’t even need a facial
expression to recognize emotions. Even without a facial expression you
certainly know how the man in the photo at feels, based on the context. Studies
on how people process facial expressions have shown that when we look at faces,
our brains always spontaneously encode the context and that in certain
instances, context plays an even bigger role in emotion recognition than the
facial expression. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">The second problem with traditional emotion recognition training is the
underlying assumption that there is a direct relationship between an emotion
and its facial expression. This assumption goes back to Darwin’s idea of
universal expression of emotions in which each emotion has its own distinct
facial expression. Unfortunately for people with autism, facial expressions are
not that straightforward and quite often are ambiguous. Take tears for
instance. What do people feel when they have tears on their cheeks? It could
mean sadness. But it could also mean happiness or pride. Or it could be an
allergic reaction or the result of dicing an onion. How can a brain tell the
difference? It uses context.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">In recognizing emotions—the same is true for all mental states—the human
brain relies on context. When people with autism find it hard to empathize, it
is because their brain lacks contextual sensitivity. They are affected by
context blindness, rather than mind blindness. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">We can teach people with ASD a lot of rules and scripts, but for social
understanding and competence to flourish, scripts and rules are insufficient.
To effectively teach emotion recognition and social understanding to people
with ASD, we must add context to the materials we teach. Even using a term such
as “socially appropriate behavior” becomes misleading unless context is
specified; behavior that is socially appropriate in one situation might be
inappropriate in another context! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">Social competence is not about knowing whether a certain behavior is
socially appropriate or not, it is the knowledge of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">when</i> that behavior is appropriate and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">when it is not</i>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">Research has shown that more able people with ASD know quite a lot of
social rules, but they have difficulty adapting these rules to changing
contexts or making exceptions to the rules. Most social skill training programs
focus on teaching <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">generic</i> social
skills (e.g., how to start a conversation). However, having a conversation
while waiting in the dentist’s waiting room or visiting someone at the hospital
is quite different from the conversation you have hanging out with a group of
buddies because the contexts are very different. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">Instead of putting our focus on teaching social skills, we should focus
on teaching social contexts such as visiting someone at the hospital or hanging
out with friends. And then teach all the necessary rules, conversation, and
behavior attached to a certain context. When you visit someone who is ill and
in the hospital, what kind of present do you take? How long do you stay? What
do you talk about? What should you say/not say?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">The same logic about context applies to Social Stories™, a powerful tool
to help people with autism navigate the social world. Instead of creating
stories about certain social skills, we should build them around contexts and
introduce sentences that start with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">if</i>
and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">when</i>. In this manner a story can
be adapted to different contexts. For instance, a social story about welcoming
guests to your birthday party could contain the following contextual sentences:</span></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">When the person who
arrives is a close family member, you kiss them and say “hi.”</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">When the person who
arrives is not a close family member, you shake hands and say “hi.”</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Social
competence requires more than social skills; it demands contextual sensitivity—
something difficult for people with ASD. Training programs designed to help
people with ASD navigate the social world should therefore emphasize social
contexts, not just focus on teaching social skills. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How crazy is this? I can't believe how fast time flies. Several exciting things have happened to us lately. For one, Ryder was the Idaho recipient of the Ipad 2 presented to him by Gary James, founder of <a href="http://a4cwsn.com/ipad-deliveries/" style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: lime;">A4CWSN</a><span style="color: lime;"> </span>(Apps for Children with Special Needs). Read more about Gary <a href="http://a4cwsn.com/ipad-deliveries/" style="color: lime;">here, and BTW he is AMAZING!</a> I've had enough of my picture taken and being on the news. It's just not my bag. That's all I have to say about that. To read the article, click <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57324520/autistic-children-given-a-voice-thanks-to-ipads/" style="color: lime;">here.</a> To view a video clip click <a href="http://www.localnews8.com/news/29791059/detail.html" style="color: lime;">here.</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Ryder is loving the Ipad and hopefully we'll be able to get some apps soon. He still needs lots of prompting and gets overwhelmed easy when new information is introduced (like on the Ipad), but he gets used to it with repetition. It will take time, which as you can see, I run out of, all of the time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been reading <span class="ProductNameText"><a href="http://store.fhautism.com/p-1088-apps-for-autism-an-essential-guide-to-over-200-effective-apps.aspx" style="background-color: magenta;">Apps for Autism: An Essential Guide to Over 200 Effective Apps</a> by </span>Lois Jean Brady a speech and language pathologist. This came in the nick of time, two days before Gary showed up to present the Ipad. This is a very informative book and there really is an "app" for that. It's amazing! I am so glad we live in this day and time where technology has the power of voice. I would LOVE to hear Ryder's voice, and if this is as close as I can get, I'll take it. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Dear Sensory Smarts,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">My five-year-old is such a picky eater! There are only a few foods she’ll eat: pasta, pizza, and ice cream. She wants to eat macaroni n’ cheese almost every meal, but it has to be one particular brand. If the store is out, she will not eat another brand. My parents and in-laws think it’s because I spoil her. They all say I should serve her what everyone else is having and if she doesn’t eat, then tough. I did try it once and she simply did not eat. Help!
From,
Mac n’ Cheese Maven’s Mom</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Dear Maven’s Mom,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> Kids with oral sensory issues and food aversions will not eat foods they find repulsive and may wind up with nutritional deficiencies. Your child did not become an extremely selective eater because of something you did. It may help to consider the underlying factors that may be impacting your child’s inability to tolerate a wider variety of foods.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> Oral Sensory Problems
Kids with sensory challenges, especially those on the autism spectrum, often have sensory issues in and around the mouth. Remember that the lips, tongue, inside cheeks, and throat are lined with skin. A child may be exquisitely sensitive to textures, and unable to tolerate foods that are lumpy, slippery, chewy, crunchy, or a combination of textures, like yogurt with granola. Some kids are particular about flavors, and may only eat foods that are bland, sweet, or even highly spiced. Some kids are particular about temperatures and insist on or refuse foods that are cold, hot, or lukewarm. Some kids stuff their mouths to feel there’s something in there. Other kids object to the way food looks or when items touch each other on a plate.
Some problem feeders have oral-motor weakness, and lack strength and stability in the lips, tongue, and jaw for nursing and later for eating solid foods. Jaw weakness makes chewing difficult while tongue weakness makes it hard to form a bolus (round food mass) to swallow. High or low muscle tone in the mouth can also be an issue. A child may have a hyperactive gag reflex and avoids eating and gagging. At its most extreme, a child may throw up when an offending food is tasted, smelled, or simply mentioned. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> Most kids on the spectrum crave predictability. Your daughter may insist on exactly the same brand of mac n’ cheese cooked exactly the same way as a form of control in a world that sometimes feels out of control. If she has successfully eaten that one type of mac n’ cheese in the past, it’s got to be the very same kind in the future.
It sounds like your daughter sticks to “the white diet,” consisting of carbs and cheese, a common diet among kids with sensory issues. These foods are relatively soft and have an easy “mouth feel.” Unfortunately, these foods consist of gluten and dairy, which many kids with autism do not tolerate well.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> Gluten is the main protein in wheat and other grains and casein is a protein in cheese and other dairy products. The theory is that these proteins trigger immune responses in some kids, resulting in a pleasurable, druglike response. Gluten and casein sensitivities are worth exploring with a nutritionist or allergist. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
When a child has a significantly limited food repertoire, do not withhold the few foods that are acceptable. If you take away that one brand of mac n’ cheese, you’re taking away one of the few sources of nutrition for your child, even if it is a poor one. Pizza can be healthy if you buy or make it with high-quality ingredients.
I start by identifying one food the parent would like to add to a child’s diet, typically a fruit or vegetable. If possible, the child selects the particular fruit or vegetable. </span></div>

(Sorry about the format...)
By Michelle Garcia Winner, CCC-SLP
Our daily lives are made up of
an endless stream of thoughts,
decisions, actions and reactions
to the people and environment
in which we live. The internal and
external actions fit together, sometimes
seamlessly sometimes not,
largely dependent upon a set of invisible
yet highly important skills we call
Executive Functioning (EF). These
skills, which involve planning, organizing,
sequencing, prioritizing, shifting
attention, and time management
can be well-developed in some people
(think traffic controllers, wedding
planners, business CEOs, etc.) and less
developed in others. They are vital in
all parts of life, from making coffee
to running a profitable business. The
skills develop naturally, without specific,
formal training, and we all have
them to some degree – or at least, we
all assume we all have them.
Things are never quite as simple as
they seem, and these EF skills are no
exception. They require a multitiered
hierarchy of decisions
and actions, all coming
together within the
framework of time, knowledge and
resources.
Imagine trying to navigate life when
EF skills are impaired or nonexistent, as
they are with individuals on the autism
spectrum. For most of us, our imagination
won’t stretch that far. Therefore,
we assume all these kids – especially
those who are “bright” - have EF skills
and we act and react to our spectrum
children or students as if they did.
Nowhere does this EF skill deficit
cause more turmoil than in the area
of homework, producing monstrous
levels of anxiety and dread in students,
parents and teachers alike. The myriad
of details that need to be accomplished
in a student’s class, school day or week
can overwhelm even the healthiest student;
it can shut down our ASD kids.
I am regularly asked: if tasks are so
overwhelming to their EF systems,
should we just avoid having students
deal with them? The answer
is an unequivocal emphatic “NO!”
Organizational skills are life skills, not
just school skills, and even though they
are “mandatory prerequisites” for succeeding
at school, like social skills they
are rarely directly taught. Few states
include explicit teaching of EF skills in
their “standards of education.”
So where do we start? First, by understanding
how complex organizational
systems become by the time students
reach middle school. We can only be
good teachers if we appreciate the
demands the skills we teach place on
our students.
Second, by understanding organization
as a skill set, which involves static
and dynamic systems.
Static organizational systems and
skills are structured: same thing, same
time, same place, same way. Static organizational
tasks are introduced in kindergarten,
first and second grade. We
break down tasks and ask students to
explicitly complete very defined units
of information, at a certain time and
place. Write your name at the top of
the page, read the instructions, complete
the work, when done turn the
paper over and sit quietly until time
is up.
Dynamic organizational systems and
skills involve constant adjustments
to priorities, workloads, time frames,
tasks and places. They are less teacher directed
and more student-directed.
By 4th grade, teachers are introducing
dynamic assignments to students
with moderate levels of support. Soon
after that we expect students to be
able to manage increasingly dynamic
workloads with little extra support or
direct teaching. By high school, almost
all school and homework has dynamic
components requiring students to use
EF skills to allocate time, resources,
places to work, etc.
Here’s the good news: most of us
understand that to tackle a dynamic
task we have to break it down into its
static elements. The dynamic part of the
task requires thinking; the static part
of the task requires doing. A dynamic
assignment such as writing an essay
requires a significant portion of the
task be spent thinking about the topic
before the static tasks of actually writing
the paper at a table, at a specified hour,
etc. One of the great challenges for our
spectrum students is learning to break
down dynamic tasks into more concrete,
static chunks of work.
Fostering organizational skills in
students with ASD requires an evolutionary
approach towards teaching
students, one that is ideally started at
an early age. Students hone organizational
skills starting in preschool, when
we first ask them to clean up their toys.
Teachers can accurately identify organized
versus disorganized students as
early as kindergarten. By 4th grade
teachers expect students to be proficient
with EF skills.
However, the reality is that the majority
of our ASD students of all ages desperately
need help with homework,
specifically, and EF skills in general.
Help is available. The following 10
steps illuminate specific aspects of EF
skills that increase students’ static and
dynamic organizational coping mechanisms.
While these steps are interrelated
and synergistic, avoid trying to
teach them all at the same time. Each
may be difficult to grasp and master for
the student with ASD; allow learning
to take its own pace. Keep expectations
realistic, talk things through regularly,
and probe for misunderstandings or
miscommunication. Learning EF skills
is a dynamic system of its own, with
its static components. Make sure your
child or student experiences success
and feels competent at each stage of
the process.
10 Steps to Foster
Organization Skills
1. Clearly define what needs
to be done
Too often, parents and schools view
organization goals too simply: “the
student must write the assignment in
his planner.” Clearly this is not nearly
enough detail for most tasks and may
not even be the best starting goal for
a particular student. Adults must be
organized in their own thinking if they
are to effectively teach students with EF
deficits this skill. Go beyond giving out
assignments; help the student understand
how to also approach the task
from an organizational standpoint.
Adults must be organized in
their own thinking if they are to
effectively teach students
with EF deficits this skill.
2. Move it with motivation
Almost all students with weak organizational
skills also struggle with motivation
to accomplish homework tasks.
Parents and teachers often don’t realize
this lack of motivation can stem
from feeling overwhelmed by the task
demands. Students with the greatest
motivational challenges are often our
most intelligent students (e.g. those
with high IQ scores). We often assume
“smart” means “organized” and say
things like “come on, I know you can
do this, I know you are smart.” Yet,
they may have the hardest time motivating
themselves when overwhelmed
because they have never had to work
at learning. Learning just happened if
they stayed attentive.
By adolescence, students need to
appreciate that completing work - even
work that seems somewhat ridiculous
to them – has its rewards. It establishes
them as hard working in the eyes of
others, improves their grades and
increases feelings of self-worth through
meeting their grade level academic
expectations. However, as obvious as
this sounds, this level of cause-effect
can still be too overwhelming to some
spectrum students because it requires
delayed gratification. Many students
need to start at a much more concrete
level of motivation, with very small
work steps combined with reward
early in the task completion process.
For example, if a student cannot easily
work for an hour, have him work
successfully on a single part of the task
for just 10 minutes before he gets to
pause and congratulate himself. Self motivation
increases when students
feel confident in understanding and
accomplishing the task before them.
It doesn’t matter how “well” you teach
students these EF skills; if they are
unmotivated, they will not implement
the ideas. Work directly on helping students
tackle and overcome motivation
challenges.
3. Prepare the environment
Most adults familiar with helping students
“get organized” understand this
point. Establish a dedicated workspace
for homework that includes the essential
tools: pen, pencil, paper, etc. Color
coding tasks, making sure the student
has an organized binder, possibly access
to a time-timer (www.timetimer.com)
create structures that promote success
during homework time.
4. Chunk and time it
Assignments that sound coherent and
structured to teachers can still overwhelm
a student with EF challenges.
For example: “write a report focusing
on the economy, culture, weather
and climate of a specific country.”
Clear enough, you think? Maybe to us,
but not to them. Make sure the student
understands how to “chunk” an
assignment (break it down into smaller
pieces) and how the individual parts
create the larger whole. For example,
not all students will know their report
needs four sections, essentially “mini-essays”
worked on separately and then
joined together.
Furthermore, once they “chunk”
the project students also need to predict
how long each chunk will take to
complete. The majority of our students
with poor organizational skill have a
resounding inability to predict how
long projects will take across time. In
fact, they tend to be weak in all aspects
of interpreting and predicting time.
Consider this: Is there anything you
do without first predicting how long it
will take? We “time map” everything,
gauging how the task will or will not
fit into what we’re doing now, an hour
from now, later in the day or later in
the week.
Homework functions in much the
same way. Students are more willing to
tackle homework when they can reliably
predict how long they will have
to work on the task. For example, a
student will usually calmly do math
if it should only take 5-10 minutes.
However, for those spectrum students
who can’t predict time, the nebulous
nature of the activity incites anxiety
such that they may cry 45 minutes over
doing a 10-minute math assignment.
When the student does not – or cannot
- consider time prediction as part of
his organizational skill set, he is likely
to waste a lot of time rather than use
time to his advantage.
5. Use visual structures
As the school years progress, homework
shifts from mostly static tasks
doled out by one teacher to mostly
dynamic tasks assigned by many different
individuals. We expect students to
self-organize and know how to juggle
the many pieces of learning that make
up each class, grade and level of education.
Yet, this valuable skill is never
directly taught!
Visual long-term mapping charts,
such as a Gantt Chart, (www.
ganttchart.com) can help students
plan and monitor
multiple activities.
These bar type
graphs allow
a student to
visually track
multiple projects
across
time, determine
when
they are due
and how
much time is
available to work on each. For example,
a history paper may be assigned in
February and due in late March; a line
would run from early February to late
March to indicate the time allocated to
the project. A math project assigned in
early March is also due in late March;
another line would represent this project.
Visually the student can see that
two big projects are due at about the
same time, and both are worth significant
grade points. This then helps the
student understand why he should not
wait until the last minute to start one
or both assignments. Gantt charts are
frequently used in business, but have
yet to make it into student software for
school/homework planning. However,
they are easy to create and use at home
or in the classroom. For students with
ASD, they are invaluable tools for
organization.
Visual structures can represent entire
projects and then also be used for individual
chunks, creating the visual organizational
framework students with EF
deficits need. Once assignments are
understood as needing to be worked on
across time, we can encourage students
to chunks tasks to be worked on during
specific weeks, then make related lists
of things to do on specific days.
6. Prioritize and plan daily
Learning to prioritize is a valuable
skill and helps the student get things
done. Keep in mind that many of us
make daily lists but don’t always complete
all tasks on our list, and that priority
is largely based on the value we
place on the assignment. Within the
school setting, “value” is often dictated
by the teacher. Priority is a factor
of the task’s value overall, its deadline
and the time to complete it. However,
just because a task is due does not
mean a student needs to make a decision
to complete it, especially if it is a
low priority or low value task to the
student or the teacher. For example,
during her sophomore year in high
school my daughter was looking at
her math grades online. I looked over
her shoulder and saw she had mostly
A’s and B’s but noticed she had two
F’s. I exclaimed, “Robyn, you have two
F’s”, to which she replied, “Mom, they
were each worth one point. They were
hardly worth doing.” Robyn realized
that in light of the many assignments
she had to juggle for all her classes,
projects with the least point value
were not worth doing; she’d rather
save her time and effort for the larger,
more important projects.
With a prioritized plan in hand,
many students will still struggle with
actually working on the tasks. Even
students with high intelligence may
have difficulty getting themselves to
work on projects not of their liking.
Their baseline attention span may be
no more than 7-10 minutes. (Test one
of your student’s baseline attention
span by observing how long he can
attend to mundane projects without
self-distracting. You may be surprised
by how short it is!)
Help students succeed with their
daily schedule by teaching them to
take frequent small breaks at the end
of their baseline attention span. For
example, a graduate student in theology
found he could only push himself
through 10-minute work cycles before
feeling overwhelmed or internally distracted.
He used a visual time-timer
and gave himself a short stretch break
every 10 minutes. Once he completed
a number of these short work cycles
he gave himself a larger reward. The
key to using self-reward is to make
sure the small reward isn’t likely to be
distracting or absorbing (computer
games, TV, reading a book). Instead
make these small breaks quick and
refreshing, just to refocus attention:
sensory based activities (stretching or
movement), a small snack, a quick trip
to the bathroom or pencil sharpener.
7. Hunt and gather
Simply put: students need to plan
time into their schedule to locate different
resources to complete a task.
For example, research at the library
might be a “chunk” they plan for
on their homework list (don’t forget
travel time!).
Keep in mind
that many of us make
daily lists but don’t always
complete all tasks
on our list.
8. Consider perspective
Homework is more effectively completed
when students start by considering
the teacher’s perspective before
diving into the assignment. An assignment
done well is one that meets the
teacher’s expectations and follows the
teacher’s instructions. A high school
student went to great lengths to develop
a computer program for his computer
programming class. His teacher came to
me exasperated, explaining that while
well done, the project was totally unrelated
to the class assignment.
Parent perspectives enter into the
homework plan also. Many parents
expect children to finish homework
before watching TV. Even though children
may have accomplished a great deal
of homework (in their mind “enough”),
trouble can still erupt because it wasn’t
“finished” in the parent’s mind.
Perspective taking can be quite overwhelming
to many students with social
learning and organizational problems.
A strategy called “social behavior mapping”
(Winner, 2007) can help students
understand how expectations, actions
and reactions affect not only how we
are viewed by others, but how their
responses ultimately impact the way
we view ourselves.
9. Communicate and
then communicate
some more
Homework assignments often result
in students needing help from others.
Knowing when and how to ask for
help can be challenging for students
with social learning and organizational
weaknesses. Avoid assuming students
– especially “bright” students - should
intuitively know how to ask for help,
clarification or even how to collaborate
with others on assignments. These
skills are not nearly as simple as they
seem and may need to be explicitly
taught by the special education teacher
or speech language pathologist at your
school. Tip: as students age into middle
school and beyond, most are turning
to their peer group rather than their
teacher for help. This fosters peer support
networks desperately needed for
success in college and later life.
1r0e.w aCrodm pletion and
Having a clearly defined “end” to a task
is important for the concrete thinking
minds of students with ASD. Be
sure the child knows what “finished”
means, both at school and at home. For
instance, a homework assignment is
not truly “done” until it is turned in to
the teacher at school. While homework
turn-in boxes (static) are commonly
found in elementary school, they all
but vanish during middle and high
school years when even the act of turning
in homework becomes dynamic.
Make sure your students know where
to turn in homework. Also, parents
should save big celebrations for completed
projects until the assignments
are actually turned in. Some students
may need reminder systems set up to
make sure work is turned in on time.
Visual notes, PDA messages or watch
timers can be used to help.
At home, “finished” homework yields
its own rewards when students can
engage in more personally pleasing
activities, such as a computer game,
watching TV, reading for pleasure, etc.
Even our favorite activities have a finite
time frame attached to them before it
is time to go to bed. Many of these
organizational strategies can be used
to help a student learn to shut down a
favorite activity and get his brain ready
for bed.
“Planning takes time!” This is a message
we need to constantly reinforce
with our spectrum students. “Teaching
organizational skills takes time, across
months and even years!” This is a
message we need to reinforce to parents
and teachers. Whether students
are using organizational skills for
homework, doing chores, preparing
for a weekend activity or something
as simple as getting a snack, as children
grow and develop, tasks become
increasingly complex and dynamic
with each passing year. Teachers and
parents need to work together, while
children are still in elementary school,
to identify and teach any or all of the
10 steps mentioned in this article that
are problematic for the spectrum child.
In doing so, we give children the tools
not just to handle homework, but to
be successful in all areas of life.

He very often sees no relevance in the learned material to his own life or to other class work down the road. It is often necessary to explain WHY the material is necessary, how he can use it, and why it works with something that he has already learned.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

The only ways to combat these are to challenge _______ with relating the work to their personal interests (drawing, acting, geography, music) or letting ________ partake in an activity that he enjoys after the work is done. Nothing like old fashioned bribery.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We’re sure this seems very overwhelming—especially if you are new to Autism Spectrum Disorders. To allay your fears, _______ is a very mild mannered boy and won’t cause any trouble in class. He is shy at first and then he becomes very entertaining the more he opens up to people. School is very difficult for him and he does not enjoy it. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: large;"><span style="font-variant: small-caps;">The kitchen is a natural learning environment.</span> From organizing ingredients, to creating lists, and teaching basic math concepts, it’s not hard to imagine turning time spent cooking together into an incredibly fun learning experience. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: large;">While any time spent cooking together can become a learning opportunity, do not introduce your child to cooking for the sole purpose of teaching. The key word is “fun!” Your child needs to be comfortable being together in the kitchen with you first, so if you haven’t begun the process, take steps to gradually introduce him to food, cooking, and sharing time in the kitchen. (Check out our earlier GFCF Cooking Together articles for some great tips!) </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: large;">It sounds silly to say “don’t forget the food,” but the point is simply this: There is no greater motivation to learn in the kitchen than for the end product to be the reward. This means making sure you choose foods your child loves to eat.</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: large;">One of the best things about using cooking to teach skills to our children with autism, is that it’s so easy to tailor the information and level of difficulty to meet their needs. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: large;"> </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: large;">Organization and Sequencing. Write each step of the recipe on a separate card, or list them on a dry erase board in simple terms so you and your child have a visual sequence of steps to follow. Make a list of ingredients and utensils you will need, then collect them and organize everything on the counter in the order in which it will be used. The extent of your child’s participation depends entirely on her ability and comfort level in the kitchen. If necessary, begin by asking her to find just one utensil and make it her “assigned” utensil. For example, her utensil could be a spoon and when that step is reached in the recipe, she has responsibility for stirring. Put a star next to the steps that she will complete. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: large;"> </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

This is a great time to implement strategies like turn taking and synchronizing actions together. Examples might be: “I’ll pour this, then you’ll pour that,” “I’ll get the mixing bowl, you get the spoon,” or “I’ll add eggs while you stir.”</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

Keep a happy, chatty conversation going, even if you’re delivering a monologue. Remember that the idea is for you to model the steps and teach while you’re in the cooking process, whether your child is watching or actively participating. Every now and then ask a simple question and give him sufficient time to respond. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

While you’re talking, use as much descriptive language as possible to define colors, textures, tastes, and smell. Pause to let her experience and absorb the similarities and differences in ingredients.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: large;">Could there be a better place to teach essential math than the kitchen? This is the perfect opportunity to give real-world substance to abstract concepts. Depending on your child’s academic level, you can work fractions, measurements, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and even weight (if you have a kitchen scale) into any simple recipe. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

Count the number of times you stir, every time you add an ingredient, the number of steps in the recipe, the number of ingredients, etc. Make it a game by taking turns counting or by pretending you can’t remember the next number so your child can pitch in and help. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

Create the opportunity to teach addition or multiplication by doubling the recipe. Your child can count out loud, and physically measure and pour each ingredient twice, which gives you multiples chances to reinforce the concept. Make it more complicated by increasing the recipe by 1 1/2. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

Measure one cup of flour (or other ingredient), then measure again using half cup, third cup, and quarter cup measures. Talk about how they’re different. Demonstrate that you can pour two half-cup measures into one cup to equal the same amount. Another great visual method is to choose a food item that your child likes, whether several carrots or slices of bread, then lay one item out whole, cut another one in half and place it under the whole one, cut another one in thirds and place it directly underneath, etc. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: large;">Scholastic.com had a great lesson plan for teaching shapes and sorting.

Use any type of fresh or canned fruit and cut each one into a variety of shapes. For optimum sorting, you’ll need enough of the fruit to cut each one into the same shapes.

<span style="font-size: large;">Well here they are. Our 11 and 12 year old boys both diagnosed with PDD-NOS which is on the Autism Spectrum. You wouldn't know it though, they are both very high functioning. But they do have their moments. The boys are opposites for sure, but still carry the same diagnosis.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> PDD-NOS stands for Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified. Which means they have some of the criteria for autism but not all. Because they are so high functioning, people expect them to act like their typical peers. Good luck. I never know if I am disciplining a 12 year old or an 8 year old. Hence the term "pervasive". You don't know where they are at developmentally.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Dear hubby has also been diagnosed with PDD-NOS at age 42 after a long list of diagnoses. I think they finally have it right now. Hubby agrees that he is really age 17 and has been for years. I concur. :)</span>THE SPECTRUM SPECTACLEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06156922917590652300noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195165768050426181.post-86369158476216962382011-06-26T18:11:00.000-06:002011-06-26T18:11:24.505-06:00THE ENDOSCOPY RESULTS<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">E</span></b>arlier this month we took Ryder to Primary Children's Hospital and he had an endoscopy, which is a scope of his upper G.I. They took pictures and a biopsy just to make sure we weren't missing anything such as reflux. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPgqObO5cDiMYz_yYZr43a9uAHWrxF0cWDvb8MNeE7eMUCmBLJ1KoQgeW8BJcW07RRDDx961uG0370zVccX60Q5lJXmcuKOjSUZ-cAZj0jLOppyJeXDReg4_uxBW6XZwW7vE7K_8wG1Do/s1600/IMG_20110607_102529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPgqObO5cDiMYz_yYZr43a9uAHWrxF0cWDvb8MNeE7eMUCmBLJ1KoQgeW8BJcW07RRDDx961uG0370zVccX60Q5lJXmcuKOjSUZ-cAZj0jLOppyJeXDReg4_uxBW6XZwW7vE7K_8wG1Do/s320/IMG_20110607_102529.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"> Things looked great said the doctor, and so then we waited for the results of the biopsy later that week. Doc called and said the biopsy was negative for allergies to gluten and milk sugar. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> This is all well and fine, but how do you explain why he is in extreme pain? We figured, OK, so lets give him a regular diet and see what happens. Maybe after it being so long, his gut had healed? I introduced back into his diet the regular foods, but I did so slowly. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Here it is two weeks later and Ryder is screaming and crying and very frustrated. He has had diarrhea yesterday and today. I just don't get it. I can't tell you how many times I have been lectured by doctors that he needs Miralax (or something similar) to make sure he is not backed up. If I am going to give him Miralax, then please, Doc, come over and clean up the mess it makes all over the carpet, bedding, walls, etc. HE IS NOT PLUGGED UP!! Granted, there have been times that he has been, but not this time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I feel so defeated and hopeless. My baby is in pain and cannot tell me verbally other than to scream and cry and whine. It grates on my nerves. The endoscopy was my last resort. What about a colonoscopy? The pediatric G.I. never mentioned that. </span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">All of us make daily choices in life. Most of these choices are trivial, like what to have for dinner or what color socks to wear. Other choices are more life-changing, like whom to marry, where to live, or what house to buy. Sometimes, choices are made which at the time seem to be in error, but allow us, if our ears, eyes, and mind are open, to learn about life, our children, ourselves. Sometimes a wrong turn can lead to nothing less than a miracle.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was a spring Saturday in the Bay Area. There was nothing exceptional about the day, except that it wasn't raining. Not bad for a weekend in the wettest year California had experienced in decades. The sky was blue with white puffy clouds, and it was on the cool side - a great day for a picnic.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: large;">April and I decided to spend the day in Sausalito, a trendy upscale town on the waterfront just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. We packed a lunch and ate hot dogs, chips, and sodas with a spectacular view of the San Francisco skyline. The pigeons and sea gulls, we discovered, are only your friends when you're eating. They're not one of God's more loyal creatures, to say the least. Later that afternoon we blew bubbles with Shamus, our four- year-old autistic son, in a local park before starting the drive back to our home on the Peninsula.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: large;">On the way home I took a minor detour; I wanted to show April some nice places to have a picnic another time, with a great view of the San Francisco Bay. As luck would have it, despite our best efforts to follow the signs to the freeway we somehow took a wrong turn. Or was it a wrong turn?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: large;">We soon found ourselves among green rolling hills that we could see eventually led to the Pacific Ocean. We were debating whether to turn around, or just keep going and enjoy the ride. It was so beautiful, we decided to venture on. By the time we arrived at the ocean, April had no interest in making the short trek to the water. I parked the van and walked to the beach by myself, staying only a few minutes. It was no fun being there without my wife and son. That's just not the way God intended it.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before maneuvering home, we knew Shamus needed a potty stop. Even though the restroom building was not more than a few hundred feet across the parking lot, we figured the less walking our boy did here, the better. Parked cars are a real distraction for Shamus. Once “business” was done, I turned to Shamus and said, "Shamus, do you want to go to the beach?" He was never a beach-lover before, but I thought I’d give him the option. Surprisingly, he said "yes." Kids, even autistic ones, do change sometimes, I guess…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: large;">We watched the waves tumble in, leaving the hissing, white-green foam behind. Shamus seemed to be enjoying it so much - the sound of the ocean, the frothy surf, the big sky overhead.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now, Shamus is a native Californian and our home is only 10 miles from the ocean. He had been to the beach many times before and had never been too interested in exploring beyond the blanket he was sitting on. But today was different; he wanted to get his feet wet.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: large;">San Francisco is not a “beach” town, despite its physical proximity to the ocean. The water is cold, and summer weather along the coast is usually cold and foggy the entire day. Bay Area residents, especially coastal residents, don't wear shorts and don't keep beach towels in their car. Extra blankets and jackets are a far more practical item to have on hand.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: large;">But here was my son wanting – for the first time - to get his feet wet. So, we rolled up his pants, took off his socks and shoes, and I did the same. Shamus got his feet wet. He was ecstatic. As for me, the water felt like ice, my feet were frozen, my rolled-up pant legs soon unraveled, and in no time, both our pants were soaked - and we had no dry clothes. And yet, I wouldn't have traded that moment for anything in the world. It was our moment - father and son - playing in the surf. Nothing else in the world mattered to either of us. For most four-year-olds, such a moment would be routine. With our dear Shamus, however, I take nothing for granted.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: large;">April is such a “Mom.” Even today my own mother, who is 82 years old, often tells me to put on a sweater when she is cold. A mother's nurturing nature transcends generations and crosses cultural lines. As April motioned for us to come out of the water, even trying to bribe Shamus with a bag of potato chips, I shook my head. I laughed and laughed and shook my head. “No way,” I was thinking to myself. This is our special moment in time. I knew what she was thinking. We were cold and wet - more specifically, Shamus was cold and wet. Dad can take care of himself. And I knew that I would allow nothing - not even a loving Mom waving a bag of potato chips - to spoil this moment. Potato chips and a warm minivan could wait.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: large;">After we came out of the water, April drove home as I sat in the passenger seat, stripped down to my T-shirt and underwear. Shamus wore only a shirt and a towel – and a big smile on his face. As we drove south across the Golden Gate Bridge, I thought about what a miracle God had given me that day - and all because of a wrong turn.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
