[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 441329, member: 1991"] Malika, as the work gets more complex he might actually do better; it would also be more mentally stimulating. it all depends on how abstract it also gets. That was our problem - when they have to interpret more, or put in ore of their own feelings on something, often that is when our kids have problems. I found that when difficult child 3 was stressing more (such as when we were on holiday) I could calm him by giving him school work sheets, especially Maths. I remember once we were at a zoo watching a display of local animals and sitting on bleachers. difficult child 3 was getting more and more hysterical, so I turned him around so his legs hung down and he could use the seat above him like a desk. He was facing away from the show, and we were up the back so there were no people for him to look at. And he calmed down as he sat there doing his Maths problems. He was about 8 years old at the time. These days he uses hand-held video games to calm himself. He seems to need a lot of calming! Marg [/QUOTE]
