[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 359929, member: 1233"] We worked with Wiz on expressions not because he "should" have any certain expression at any certain time, but because it is one more way to communicate. I tend to approach things in groups, sort of as a whole. So helping him with communication focused on verbal and nonverbal, what to say, how to understand what is said, body language and facial expression, how things are said as much as what is said, etc... When we home-schooled we pulled all the lessons into a theme that interested him rather than as separate classes or lessons. Wiz learns better that way no matter what is being taught. Showing what you are feeling is just another aspect of communication. I knew he probably would have some trouble communicating simply because most of us on my side do have troubles. Me included. I just wanted him to be capable of using this skill so the skill would be there if he wanted to use it. He does do a great deadpan face for jokes. It can be REALLY funny. [/QUOTE]
