[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 273002, member: 3419"] Hi, welcome. Your daughter is so creative ... not that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids can't be, just that she is SO imaginative and empathetic, I'd lean more toward bipolar or schizophrenia. You want to keep that creativity going. She sounds delightful. (Okay I'm biased. I'm an artist. :) ) In regard to transitioning, I would suggest doing some exercizes where you come up with-a word to tell her to start transitioning, and then give her 10 min., then 5 min., then a 1 min. warning. I'm glad that JJJ suggested Doug Riley's book because he's really good with transitioning ideas. We've been to him and my son is almost 100% better at transitioning. He was so explosive, I thought I'd lose my mind. Also, if she's coloring and getting it on the table, just put down a coated cloth like they sell at WalMart and she can color all she wants--outside the lines, too! Better than correcting her every 2 seconds, because she's not going to stop coloring at this point. :) Sounds like you'll have to make some changes to her environment to make things a bit easier. (Don't be surprised if she colors on the wall, too.) [/QUOTE]
