Being touched by autism. What did you do in school today Raiyan? Posted by Pweshes Mama. On August 28, 2009. Finally, Raiyan is starting to be able to tell us what he does in the school day. All this time, it was soooo difficult to elicit any type of response whenever I asked him simply "what did you do in school today Raiyan? I soon realised that my question was too big, too vague and Raiyan just did not know how. So first we ask: Did you play with friends today? Next: How many friends did you play with?

Our Peaceful Journey....: Countdown to school
http://our-unique-raiyan.blogspot.com/2009/08/countdown-to-school.html
Being touched by autism. Posted by Pweshes Mama. On August 16, 2009. Raiyan is starting Year 2 (! In a few days time and similar to what we did last year, with it being a whole new classroom and a new teacher, we brought him round to school about a week earlier to do an advanced going around to familiarise himself with his new surroundings. WHICH, if he sees us using a different route than he's used to, he will INCESSANTLY do until he's really convinced we are going to the same place! PURPOSE:Hoping for ...

Our Peaceful Journey....: Good Idea Raiyan!
http://our-unique-raiyan.blogspot.com/2009/08/good-idea-raiyan.html
Being touched by autism. Posted by Pweshes Mama. On August 25, 2009. Raiyan has begun to notice the roadkills we often see on the road and is getting especially worried about having to see quite a few in just one week. So yesterday, he turned around and asked me,"Is there no traffic lights for animals? Like for people to cross the streets? Of course I said, unfortunately there isn't any for animals and traffic lights are around only for cars and for people. Then he asks "but why not? Before that, Raiyan ...

Being touched by autism. Listening and looking. again. and again. Posted by Pweshes Mama. On September 18, 2009. Time flies so fast these days and I really can't believe I haven't posted about Raiyan for almost a month! This post is definitely long overdue so I thought I'd just sit myself down finally and update all my readers about Raiyan's progress. Problem but it is part of the work in progress that we have to do with him so that he is able to keep up with the rest of the class well. With a while ago ...

Our Peaceful Journey....: June 2009
http://our-unique-raiyan.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Being touched by autism. Posted by Pweshes Mama. On June 16, 2009. Efore he was able to communicate his needs appropriately, Raiyan was infamous for his extremely loud cries. One of my girlfriends also commented how his loud voice was so unique and how it seemed to have different layers and facets too it (like a soprano layer, a bass layer, a tenor layer and a baritone layer if you care to imagine! Playing with them (children with autism finds it really hard to suddenly stop something they are in the mid...

Being touched by autism. Updates, after what felt like an eternity! Posted by Pweshes Mama. On August 4, 2009. Comprehending and verbalising visual clues - We still have many copies of this activity to go through where we ask Raiyan various questions about a picture and make him explain his answer. Eg. if there is a picture of a girl picking flowers, we can ask Raiyan "Have the girls picked the flowers? Which of course Raiyan would simply say "yes" to), then we ask "How do you know? Story writing - we br...

Being touched by autism. Posted by Pweshes Mama. On October 26, 2009. Okay, now that I've gotten that confessional side of me out of the way, I shall just dive in and inform all of you on how Raiyan is doing. Raiyan is doing absolutely great! Jeff and I attended a parent-teacher meeting thingy about 3 weeks back and after our initial apprehension of being on the receiving end of continuous complaints of Raiyan's autonomousity (is there even such a word? With others and to form meaningful relationships.
