All About Autism

[mashy]

Actually I think my boy is as much an idiot as he is gifted. He is only smart in the sciences. The rest is just in his infancy. I just try to look more at his strengths than his weaknesses. But he totally frustrates me frequently. He couldn’t stop talking about his obsessions even at the most inappropriate time. He just went on and on.


That day, I commented that my gal was staring into space. He took it literally and said, "I think she is staring at Saturn."

good for you desertwind. right now i am also coaching dd3 on K1 worksheets. she is delayed in her fine motor skills and so far can only write her name in a fairly legible manner, tracing is not quite there, and coloring is relatively ok but she has the tendency to scribble ... so still a lot more work here ...

how is yours coming along?

ImMeeMee,

My kid handwriting also horrible. He is like one year behind his peers. Now only start to do tracing while kids in his K1 already write in simple sentences.

But we are trying to get him to write whenever we are free at home. Lucky thing is he also likes doing his worksheets. So just keep letting him practice practice and practice!

ImMeeMee:

but i'm impressed that your ds knows that he is in the wrong after that and that he said sorry. so he is actually aware, and that is already one great big step ahead ... :salute:

Ya lo! That's why I am so angry cos he knows he shouldn't pull that stun and yet he purposely did it. I think he is aware of it because he used to do it so often last time and we keep repeating \"Its not correct, daddy mummy are sad and angry when you do that\", and we made him say sorry after that.

So he already \"programmed\" in his mind to acknowledge his fault and say sorry.

What happen this morning is bad fussing. Not a meltdown. IF its a meltdown, he will scream so loud and roll on the floor and hit us :stompfeet: :stompfeet: :stompfeet: *cross fingers* it doesnt happen so much now.

Good that your child likes worksheets, that is already a good start. mine doesnt fancy them much, and i can only do a bit at a time, so progress is not that fast. :sad:

My boy was also writing only words while his classmates could copy the whole poem at k1. The teacher didn't even bother putting it in his folder coz he couldn't do. If she didn't show me the other kids' work, I wouldn't even know. But he is now managing. Ugly and slow handwriting. But getting there.

So don't worry. By p1, your boy will be able to write full sentences. Maybe not perfect penmanship and slow, but legible.

Hi ImMeeMee,

My boy is speech-delay. He is only beginning to say more words now and increasing his vocabulary. As for writing, he can write reasonably legibly A-Z (big and small), numbers etc. Most times we make him write on dotted lines but recently ask him to copy some words by himself. He can write his own name but if he rushes through his writing can be quite bad! I am using the series of Kumon books to do with him and also his weekly tuition got quite a lot of homework worksheets to do as well. I think he enjoy most is learning by playing and handson using wall charts, toys, \"fishing\" exercises etc. He also learns by watching DVDs.
