  1. My 4 year old daughter is in speech therapy and OT for sensory processing, auditory processing problems and problems with "perspective taking"/socially delayed. She's about to graduate out of OT because her self regulation is very much improved. She'll continue speech. She has some rigidity issues still, but they seem kind of permanent and they are not overwhelming. We are just so glad to see her smiling and talking to us- it's a very wonderful thing to have a happy child.

     

    I have an odd question though. Do any of you have kids who make the same picture over and over? She did rainbows for months, then hummingbirds for a while, and now she is back to rainbows but she has added a pot of gold and a "gold man." She is drawing the same thing again and again. Sometimes she draws other things, but she'll get into a rut and go back to rainbows for days. It kind of bothers me to see it go on and on. Is this normal?

     

    In so many ways she seems like she is making great progress. I don't think she is rigid enough for an Asperger's DX. And I am not sure what that DX would do to help anyway. She does have a desire for friendships, she is just clueless as to how to go about it. She can make friends one on one, but in preschool I see her just follow kids around while they seem to try to avoid her.

     

    Anyway, I don't want to go to the OT and SP with every little question, so I thought maybe some of the mom's on the board would have some insight into the picture concern that I have...

     

    I also have a ton of curriculum questions but I am scrolling through the old posts and finding a lot of answers. This is a great forum that seems to have a lot of knowledgeable members. I am so glad I found it.
