Well, the good news is that Ethan has taken an interest in actual movies now versus the neverending episodes of The Backyardigans... Shrek is the new one that he really likes. The bad news is that he now recites the movie (playing all parts) all the time. I have tried everything, but can't get him off of it.
I did some research this morning, but nobody seems to be talking about it. It seems as if I should be thankful that he is talking at all.
Ethan's fixation on food is something normal with someone on the spectrum~that was my newly found piece of information. I didn't realize that it was a normal thing for children on the spectrum. So, the 40 graham crackers that he ate at my friend Angie's house last Friday night is explained!!! In additon with his obsession to eat 3 popsicle in a row. He has to have one of each color in the box every time. He can't stop with just 1.
He is pulling on my face right now so that I will focus on him and not the computer, so I must go...
Until we blog again - I'm out (drops mic), I love that little thing my husband taught me in a text message, I think it is too funny and a great visual!
Hi there! Got your comment on my blog (Drew's autism diary). I'd LOVE to talk to you and share information!! We moved to Dallas about 2 years ago and it has been a whirlwind. I have lots of information about schools for Ethan and doctors! My Drew just turned 3 and we've been on this healing journey since he was about 15 months old. We're SO close to the finish line so I want nothing more than to help others follow in his footsteps! And, for you, Ethan's Momma, I know how important it is to have friends that "get it"; so please email me! Joanna - jmg6480 at yahoo dot com
