I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for rookie blog writers?

It's always a pleasure to read your posts.<br /><br />I want to say something about stimming, since you mentioned it. Stimming is relaxing for almost all auties. I don't know any auties who don't stim. It helps to regulate and soothe our very harried nervous systems, and it's necessary to our ability to function. There are some stims that I do in public, because they're pretty socially acceptable, and there are NTs who do them, too. (Something like 10% of NTs stim.)<br /><br />It would be good if you could work with R to make use of stims he can use out in the world, because they come in very handy in times of stress (exams, deadlines, crowded rooms, sudden noises, the misdirected anger of others, etc.). I don't like to think of autistic people having to hold in all the discomfort and overload that comes of navigating the world till they get home. That just leads to private meltdowns, which can wreak havoc with self esteem and relationships. Since I've been able to let myself stim, I don't have meltdowns, because I'm caring for myself.Rachel Cohen-Rottenberghttp://www.journeyswithautism.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-90543780928325965982010-10-20T15:21:00.734-04:002010-10-20T15:21:00.734-04:00OH I love Christmas too...R and I would so get alo...OH I love Christmas too...R and I would so get along.

The new toy reminded me of the movie The Polar Express. Is that a part of your/his interest? Perhaps that movie would give him ideas for his play? <br /><br />I like to place toys in specific places to cause the child to move. What if..... you placed the toys on separate pieces of furniture in-sight with the gathering toy/place on a large table? Perhaps that would prompt him to give reasons to bring the toys together? Just an idea. <br /><br />I enjoy your posts as much as everyone else.
