[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 588501, member: 15799"] In your original post, the change of having extra mirrors to investigate together with his "need" for the number 5 (but being put 4th in line) are very typical Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Those are things my difficult child 1 would have a problem with. When faced with "obstacles" (such as these), difficult child 1 shuts down because he doesn't know what else to do at the time and he needs time to process the situation. After he's had a chance to do that, he's fine. difficult child 1 also makes random "blurts" (that's what I call them whether they're noises or words) because that's his impulse at the time. Something pops into his head and he does/says it. In our house, our issues are that difficult child 2 is very "hands on" to others and difficult child 1 is "anti-touch". We are working hard on difficult child 2's touching but it has been a long road with CONSTANT teaching. I went everywhere with him and did on-the-spot teaching and reminding all the time throughout the whole outing. He's gotten much better over the years as he's grown and matured but it hasn't been easy. His respect for personal space still changes a lot but it's better than it was. [/QUOTE]
