[QUOTE="Dara, post: 109144, member: 3572"] The reasons we havent done sign language are because we want him to use his words. He does have many many words and he is able to put them together is short sentences. We are trying to encourage his use of words. Sammy is one of those children who wont do things unless it is expected of him. If he can get away with not using words as he has in many situations because we know what he wants and are tired of battle, he doesnt use his words. A lot of things that are going on with Sammy do cross over into the behavior area. He has several words which are nonsense words. He actually knows they dont mean anything and laughs about using them. The problem is, he will decide sometimes to only use these words. He gets nothing out of it except joy in using them for annoyance purposes. He is so darn strong willed, it is infuriating! It is both a blessing and a curse! He will succeed at whatever he puts his mind to whether it good or evil! The thing that is so difficult about this situation is that nobody has any idea of what his capabilites are or his diffinciancies are. We literally have no idea what is going on/the cause or anything i guess. The thing that is equally frustrating about all of this is that he can be having a fabulous day and then either you try and help him or even compliment him in any way and BOOM fun over! Now he wont even leave the house he will say "Im just done". I hope the Mayo Clinic has some advice or answers or something but part of me is terrified that they wont know either! [/QUOTE]
