[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 64661, member: 1991"] Oh yes, there are other Sammys. difficult child 3 was a Sammy. We were lucky, the 'door' was open a crack because difficult child 3 was obsessed with numbers and letters, plus he could use a computer to play some simple games. We showed him how letters make words and would write down the words he needed - one word to a page, with a drawing of the object as well. We labelled everything round the house and would stop and read them to him, pointing to the word and patting the object. Compics are definitely worth trying - the most important thing right now is to get him to communicate. If he has to use sign language, or point to a flash card on a key ring to do this, at least it is communication. It is a start. This is massively frustrating for them at this age and that is why they throw tantrums. They want it NOW and WHY can't we read their minds? Hang in there. You're getting answers. Marg [/QUOTE]
