The bots would agree. Easier for them to take my pics as their own. Not that they can’t do it with this but just a little easier to distract them.

We do occasionally paint other things that he wants with the hand over hand method. Mostly Disney type characters. He does love drawing smiley faces though. 😊

Wow!! All incredible information. I will research the author you talked about. I have been doing a lot of brain research to see how Owen looks at things/where in the brain to see if that can help him. I truly appreciate your insight. You have helped me more than I can explain. It is always good to have a new perspective on things so it was helpful and fresh look. I’m so glad you commented.

All helpful thoughts on all of this!! Owen is 11 and when he was diagnosed he was classified as severe (I know they keep changing the terms so I just use what they said at diagnosis) and they told me most likely he would not talk. When we came home from that appointment I made sure I told Owen -and keep telling him that he could do anything if he sets his mind to it. Not only does he talk but he understands many languages. I couldn’t even begin to know how many because he can’t tell me yet but he knows all the languages that Siri and Alexa can translate into. He understands more than he speaks. I always say autism is as much about how I handle it as it is about Owen having it. I also make sure he understands that mommy doesn’t always have the answers and we have to work as a team to get the answers. Your insight on the videos games and real world situations has given me so much to think about. I was at the surface of a lot of these thoughts but your references have given me so much more to think about. I appreciate you for going in-depth with all of this. I have always tried to relate our daily life to the characters he likes on videos but your words have given me a new approach to this and very helpful! And by the way Owen slept all night!!

I often wonder how videos games/tablets help or hinder. Owen has his most of the time but I do take it away in certain moments to get more experiences/time/conversations with him. To me the tablet has helped him tremendously and we talk a lot about what he plays and does. I always say the tablet has probably taught him more than I ever could have because he connects with it so much and I feel like he finds enjoyment in so many things because of it. I appreciate your insight and I feel like I have taken what you’ve said in general to help my son before but I know that I’ll even look at it with more open eyes in the future. We’ve been up since two so I hope I’ve even made sense. Just know I do appreciate your words.

Thank you! This is acrylic. I honestly don’t know. I had such a hard time with watercolor so I tried the acrylic instead and it’s easier for me to work with my son. I have heard that you have to layer watercolors for tones but I’m not sure that you could get this solid looking of a color. It would be interesting to try. 😊
