It's one of those self stimulating calming ritual behaviors that help stave off a meltdown and keep one grounded in the midst of anxiety. I would have to s... |

When you have a conversation with someone that knows you but you can't remember the face or the name.
You use quotes from movies for most of a conversation.
You take a math test with no sratch paper and get one wrong answer because you misread it. |

Just like the dog don't expect him to be a motor mouth but any verbal would be an improvement. Music may also help my son now... |

| When I was young I was 115 lb soaking wet. I could lift and carry a Subaru engine no problem. After I had done auto mechanics for a while I could lift and carry about 1000lb and I was 180lb. My ASD son when he was 2yrs he could carry a gallon jug of milk in each hand. |
