Having him "recall" or "remember" what to do in the mornings for example does not seem to work well. I mean he gets up and comes to my office door where I am working.....opens the door.....but will never come in and say good morning. Instead he sits or lies down outside the door.....and waits...for me to say something to him first. I guess. ONCE I do that......he immediately responds back "Good morning" and then comes over and crawls into my lap for kisses and hugs and talking about the night and dreams.....etc. He just does not ever initiate the conversation in the mornings.....Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598928046422992165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121474.post-34904782556946837132007-08-09T11:18:00.000-04:002007-08-09T11:18:00.000-04:00Hey Melinda.Does Noah like games? My daughter did...Hey Melinda.<BR/>Does Noah like games? My daughter did the same thing for a long time. I recall that I did something like for every 'good morning' (kiss optional, but she is ALWAYS good for a kiss) she got a big hug and a treat from the treasure box in my nightstand. (Little plastic things from Oriental Trading - dentist office-like stuff)<BR/><BR/>Those little reinforcers did alot for potty training and other things, I recall.<BR/><BR/>We made up games for just about everything, and that was always our key into our child. She is always up for fun.<BR/><BR/>xoDrama Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15448192460973174295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121474.post-70199065678051726132007-08-07T22:31:00.000-04:002007-08-07T22:31:00.000-04:00that is very sweet..feel free to link me. I will ...that is very sweet..feel free to link me. I will visit your blog too. Noah wakes up every morning and will now open my door.......but he won't say anything. He sits on the floor behind me. I have often waited to see how long it would take before he said GOOD morning to me....he never does without me saying something to him first. SO....it is a work in progress!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your visit and comments! :)Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598928046422992165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121474.post-84436423456767568962007-08-07T21:18:00.000-04:002007-08-07T21:18:00.000-04:00i really love the concept of your blog...to write ...i really love the concept of your blog...to write letters to your son. this is a wonderful idea. i am a parent to a child on the spectrum too. my son is now eleven years old and it took him a good many years before he would yell for me by name. <BR/><BR/>i would love to add you to my links on my website. you have a wonderful site here and i would like to visit often.<BR/><BR/>my site is: www.theautismexpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121474.post-43851806571507401592007-08-07T07:07:00.000-04:002007-08-07T07:07:00.000-04:00Interesting post.

I just had to keep telling him to "use his words" and to "talk" and let me or someone else know when he needed something. It was just constant prompting and redirection.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598928046422992165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121474.post-31529176820839134572007-08-07T01:50:00.000-04:002007-08-07T01:50:00.000-04:00K.C. does the very same thing.

I am trying to het him to nod "yes" or "no" but have been unsuccessful :( I have never seen him no yes or no. Did Noah pick up on nodding quickly? How did you get him to do it?<BR/>TinaKC's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12700599624392874572noreply@blogger.com
