Clothing woes
| Thu, 03-18-2010 - 10:38am |
Does anyone else's PDD NOS kid show a total failure to dress himself? I mean, the clothes go on but it's details like tucking in jeans pockets and wearing his own t-shirt (size medium) instead of my husband's (size 4X) or mine (with lace on the collar) or figuring out that clothes do not go on inside out and backwards. He just doesn't notice. Is this common? I'm feeling especially exasperated this morning.

No diagnoses here yet, but my soon to be 5 yo needs help getting dressed and undressed still.

Same sitch for my almost 13 yr old after he uses the toilet. Pants twisted and waistband all messed up.
Oh yeah, same for us.
BTDT here too!
Thanks, everyone. It was just one of those mornings. My boy is very high functioning which is of course a blessing but sometimes it makes his ASD behaviors seem like they ought to be controllable. Because he does so well on most things the ones that are challenges feel deliberate or lazy... even though I know they're not. I struggle some days with "you're so smart- why can't you dress yourself!" mentality.
Sometimes it's just good to hear that it's not just me and my kid. It's "normal". :)
My five year old, who does not have a dx (yet), is the total opposite of not careing.
