He prefers to draw. A lot. They do allow time for him to draw, but he still needs to do his work.

When I was all of 4 and in school a few weeks I decided 'been there, done that' and picked up my case (yes, I had a red case lol) and started walking home.

Right back at you.
...@ life in the house-:) thanks. Right back at you.<br /><br />@Big daddy-honestly? Stimming is important to him-and we allow it within reason.When it gets exceptionally loud..and is causing disruption for everyone..I tell him to either tone it down or stop. I look at it this way-there are things that I do that get on his nerves..when that happens he will say "You are annoying me now-could you please stop." I use the same language with him. I don't berate him for something he needs to do-but I do let him know in a respectful way that he needs to be aware of his surroundings-and the other people in them..and sometimes that means he needs to quiet down.<br /><br />@Kwombles...heehee..yes, I was a smart girl! No-he still can't whistle...none of the kids can..I'm thinking that might be a good thing on so many levels. :) Yup-I was one pissed off girl in the photo-hee! Still can't make me do things I don't want to.<br /><br />@DS Walker-Oscar slowly but surely is finding his way..and I will tell him the story...a long time from now..:)<br /><br />@looking for blue sky-yeah...homework is a tough one for Oscar..luckily we have people at school willing to work with us on that. They give him very little-as it is just too much for him after a long day of holding it all together..<br /><br />@anonymous-yup-the crappy dress made from scraps..no angel visions..no party..it was a crap day all around..I love that picture. :)<br /><br />@bbsmum-apparently not..from what I have been told..there doesn't seem to be a whole lot "allowed" there..and there isn't a whole lot "allowed" here if you want to get there..I came to that conclusion at a very young age-as the photo indicates! ;0kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648854807234137885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-78172048474905361562011-02-15T02:53:05.235-05:002011-02-15T02:53:05.235-05:00There's no whistling in heaven???There's no whistling in heaven???autismandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639886249223327022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-24829851011208990962011-02-14T17:55:43.116-05:002011-02-14T17:55:43.116-05:00I meant to say, you looked so delighted in that pi...I meant to say, you looked so delighted in that picture!Kim Wombleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492455180502821052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-39654608340828425892011-02-14T17:29:35.490-05:002011-02-14T17:29:35.490-05:00Great blog - loved the picture.
