[QUOTE="Dara, post: 109587, member: 3572"] Jannie, we did try the sign language but he did not take to it. SRL, I often refer to those nonsense words as NELL if that makes any sense. I wish I could show you guys the video of it, it would explain so much. He odesnt say these words with any seriousness. He says them and laughs. He is not asking for anything or trying to express anything when he uses these words. He is just being silly. With all of his issues he does have a fantastic sense of humor. The issue we have with these words are he chooses not to answer you or aknowledge you at all. It isnt that he cant hear you or doesnt understand what you are saying at that point in time, you can see it on his face, he is smirking as he is doing this. He chooses to use the "nonsense" words to answer knowing it isnt an answer. For instance, we will say, "what do you want to eat?" and Sammy will look at you with a huge grin and say "Puyit" He knows that question and knows the answer to that just fine he even knows to say "I not hungry" The problem with this is you end up having to make a decision and he never likes it. I do have to say that he had a fantastic evening tonight which was very nice and needed! Truthfully sometimes I dont know if I am venting or wanting advice or what. You reach a level of frustration and have no idea what you want or need to do about it! Thank you all for all of your support. I just hope that someone can figure out soon! Oh! Jannie, the walking in public thing is something that i have been begging for them to address for over a year. It has been mildly addressed and lately, on his own, Sammy has started walking more and more in public. He will hold hands on occasion but baby steps on that one so we are happy about that! Also if we do comply with his request it doesnt make a difference. Some days he is going to fight no matter what you do and some days he is great. There is no rhyme or reason for it, I assume there is within his brain but no outward rhyme or reason for it. Sorry, I am trying to answer the questions so it this post must seem a little wacky. I am a bit more relaxed right now because our night was so good. [/QUOTE]
