Friday was Stinky but Today was Okay

-
For the first time, Peter's speech therapist heard him use a full sentence with the first person pronoun. ("I want to play with the ball more.") He's done that at home but I would say only 5 percent of the time. The rest of the time he uses questions to prompt the listener into doing what he wants which he then answers. As in:

Peter: Do you need more help?

Peter: Okay.

Mommy: Peter, do you need help?

Peter: Okay.

Mommy: Peter, can you say, "I need help, please"?

Peter: Yes, please, I need help.

As I've mentioned before, Peter tends to incorporate new behaviors a little more each day until he's doing something almost 100 percent. I hope in a year we'll be able to look back and see that the third person questions are a thing of the past.

I've finally gotten around to moving the copingwithautism blog over to WordPress. Unlike my politics blog, this is currently a WordPress.com blog. At some point I hope to purchase a web address for it and have it set up for independent hosting but at this point WordPress.com is a start. The new address is copingwithautism.wordpress.com .

Peter's 3D CT Scan

Image
This is the top of Peter's skull from the CT Scan. As you can see there is no suture down the middle of his skull. The suture you see running from left to right is the coronal suture that runs from right in front of one ear to the other. The sagittal should run from the middle of that suture to the back of the skull but it's not present. If it were, it would have the same zig-zagged appearance as the coronal suture. This is a side/rear view of Peter's skull. As you can see, about where the ear is there should be a suture but, again, there isn't one.
