I got a email note from Kyle's special ed. teacher. She said (among other things) that Kyle's socialization at recess has been great. He's needed little or no prompting from his aide. I wish I had more details but I'm really happy to hear that. Kyle has been telling me he's been playing tag (although they call it contipation -gotta love 5th grade boy humor!) with a group of boys at recess. :) That's a change from earlier in the yr when he'd spend the recess walking around a tree alone. Yea Kyle!

OOhh that's great Samantha! Nathan has been playing tag at recess too! With just a couple of other kids. Sometimes he'll play...other times he likes being alone and observing the other kids. It's nice to know that they're at least able to join in with the other kids...when the mood hits them!!

Samantha,

That is awesome, but I wish you had more details too! I doubt it was a case of

(walk around tree) --------------------------------> (play constipation with friends)

just like that!

Regardless, this is great news and I am proud of him and happy for you.

That is so great Samantha. I think I remember you talking at the beginning of the year about him walking alone at recess.

Maybe good changes are in the air. Yesterday at my inlaws Mike and his cousin (ASD) where both playing chase and wrestling with thier cousins and not getting mad. Then today went to the park with the same ASD cousin and his brother. They were all playing hide and seek together for the longest time, then climbing trees, etc. You would have never guessed that there were spectrum kids there. Well, maybe you would but darn they had a great time.
