Ah the joys of working with autistic
kindergarteners. I have to sit right behind a couple of them so that they stay
in their seats for "circle time" and they were doing sensory stuff
and someone went to grab someone’s rattle and they pulled back WHAMMMMO!!!!!!!
right into my lip. Couldn’t even shout because he immediately said "Sowwy
mrs. unt"
owie owie owie
now mrs unt has fat lip
snerk.
I have a kid I work with who has autism. When were in the halls of school where he knows he should be quite he will look at me with these big doe eyes and scream "NO SCREAMING!!!!!"
He cracks me up every time, although I don't show it outwardly. He can feel the need coming on but that it's not right so he has found this way to deal with it. I love seeing how his brain works. he's a great kid.
This is now my catch phrase around the house. You will often hear me shouting NO SCREAMING through the house. It's a very useful phrase.
I suggest everyone try it, it's very freeing
The band, Five for Fighting, is generously donating $0.40 to Autism Speaks for *each time* the video is viewed.
The funding goes toward research studies to help find a cure. When you
have a moment, please visit the link below to watch the video and pass
it along to your friends and family. It is a great heart tugging video.
They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hopefully we can help them to
surpass this goal.
GO, GO NOW!
What kind of world do you want?
