interesting stuff…
Gage was playing with a magnadoodle last night and started writing words. I saw jet, met, pop, pig, fat, hat… it was AWESOME. He draws faces in the letters, but it’s a start. I’ve heard stories of Autistic children who’ve never communicated verbally or with sign or PECS starting to write or type messages to people. Maybe writing will be Gage’s medium. I can certainly live with that. He HAS communicated verbally though, just not a whole lot. Since he’s been in this school though, he’s done more repeating. Not just a single word from a sentence, entire sentences. I find it encouraging. I’m thinking I might try taking Gage to Friendly’s this weekend, just the two of us. I think it’d be cool, and I want to see how he does. I can always get the food to go if it doesn’t go well.
I’m going to the Red Cross auto sales place tomorrow to look at cars. Here’s hoping I’ll find something that I can afford that is in good enough condition. My requirements are small. It must run, have all of the necessary parts, seatbelts are required. Heat is also required. It also must be able to pass inspection.
