SN kids - do you have one?

[laurenpetro]

yup, i have a 4 y/o with moderate ASD (Ben). he's the one who keeps shitting on the floor out of spite.

he loves star wars legos and youtube videos. and giving me kisses, although i think he does that to get me out of his room so he can bother his brother for a while

ETA: ben has a NT-ish twin, jack.  jack is a 4 year old asshole (sometimes) who is getting a bunch of services which i'm not entirely sure are necessary but whatever.  if getting a little SI will decrease his tantrums then i'm for it.

I have a 4 year old DS with HFA. He talks 24/7 but has a hard time staying on topic. We struggled with back and forth conversation for a long time but we're starting to get there now. He is hyperlexic and taught himself to read at 2.5. His memory is ridiculous and he's probably the smartest kid I've ever met. He can definitely have his moments though. We're working on tantrum triggers to try and curb some of the epic meltdowns. It's a work in progress.
