Thanks, I do have good boys. Yeah, his brother is a cutie... and a goof ball LOL

All those chicks are beautiful big chickens now. We got our first Silkie egg a couple of days ago!

Runt... you are an inspiration! I love hearing from people that understand. I have a lot to learn. I feel Luke is part of how God intends to teach me.

daddykirbs,
did ever learn the term for repeating others?
if were never told it,its called echolalia if he mimicks himself,its called palilalia [hope have spelt that write as its a difficult word].

mimicking someone elses movements has a name as well,though have long forgotten that one.


he sounds a lot like self.
am diagnosed with severe classic autism but not mentaly low functioning,though am not able to write and verbaly struggle to speak
due to both non verbalism and echolalia so have backup with makaton,PECS and text to speech software-however am able to develop
programs,do a lot of advanced stuff with computers and have a very deep bond with animals when it is pretty much non existant with humans.
am living in theraputic residential care with others whom are diagnosed either on the severe or profound spectrums of autism,and we
all go against the stereotypes of our labels.

the other adult female,is profoundly autistic yet she has a voluntary job which is more than what a lot of non disabled people have.
the profoundly autistic male is starting mainstream college,he has a voluntary job to.
-that is the problem with the label,lots of people see us as the label,rather than understanding we are all individuals who experience
autism/other ASDs very differently,and people then assume we cant be autistic because we dont conform to the labels.
just forget what the doctors,teachers etc say-live for the moment without stressing about the unwritten future,having a supportive,
caring family who allows for his differences is all he needs and it sounds like he has got plenty of that!
