I have a friend who trained her daughter to say she has a thinking bubble during these moments, instead of saying the comment out loud. She will then tell her daughter to hold her thinking bubble until such time when it is appropriate to talk about it eg in private. I think this calls for advance learning, but its not impossible.
Sounds like a great idea! As in many things, home prep and practice is very important, but definitely worth the investment in time and effort. -
Me too! We also use thought bubble. Teach and remind him. Now he getting better and better.

My son has the same prob of making a comment at others loudly, such as saying the person is fat, the lift is overload. He will also comment loudly if someone accidentally brushed against him or cross the road without waiting for the green man! Is really embarrassing.
How do you teach him about the thought bubble? I think my son may not understand what is a thought bubble. -
His ST used a story book to show him. For me, when he doing his work sheet, for example, word problems, he will say what he is thinking. I will let him this is your thought no need speak out. At first I don’t the answer, but I heard what you are saying then I know. I am not sure the way is correct or not, but seems he understand.

Show him a comic strip? I didn't use this technique, but I told my daughter to hold her thoughts about other people in her head until somewhere private and then whisper to me! She wasn't able to generalise that well, but I gave her examples of what was inappropriate, and over time, she got the idea.My son has the same prob of making a comment at others loudly, such as saying the person is fat, the lift is overload.

Hi parents,
Oooo… Now my son likes to tell me what number another person pressed when we are in the lift. Hmmm… Is it a prelude to the embarrassing remark stage? Haiz… -

Hehe, all kids do that at some point. My NT girl covers up her nose when she's in the lift. Coz she finds it stinky. It happened many times when there are others in the lift too! Super pai seh. -

Maybe for a start you can find some simple books in the library where there are characters talking and thinking. The way speech bubbles and thinking bubbles are drawn are different. Get your child to understand what they are doing and what it means, eg. the other person can hear the words in speech bubble but not in the thinking bubble, words in thinking bubble are in the head only etc ...
Can also play some games on this by drawing bubbles and putting words in them. This is one step leading into perspective thinking and is something that our children need to work on in the long term, cos it affects things like social interactions too. -
Hi
Anyone can share how to teach handwriting to child? Child no patience to sit and do worksheet. -
Snow24:
The general principle when teaching anything new to kids, special or not, is to start with little steps and build up. If he can already manipulate a pencil reasonably well, start with a just a few letters, or a few minutes, and increase gradually, with lots of encouragement and short breaks. If his grip is still poor, get him to play with Lego, playdough, clothespegs etc to improve his strength and dexterity.Hi
