dyk okay I just finished yet another note to Abi's teacher:


I was thinking about Abi’s obsessive coloring, and her inability to transition away from it to go back to the carpet. That happens every day almost, correct?


I know it’s unorthodox (but as is most of what we do with Abi), but would it be possible to allow her to remain at her desk to continue to color/draw? I would like to know if she “gets her fill” and is able to move on by herself, or if it’s an insatiable task. Just watching the intensity with which she colored, and then seeing that she seemed to be focused intently on it but listening to you at the same time, I am curious how it would play out if she were left to it.


This task (coloring, drawing, and writing) seems to be what she has latched onto as her comfort, relaxation, refocusing task when the situation around her gets too much for her to handle. She did it all weekend as well, in the car, at home, at my sister’s home, and late at night when she couldn’t get settled.


Also, if there is anything you need from me to help speed along the special education testing process, please let me know. I have no shortage of information, including all the things I noted about Abi when I was observing.
