My ds is 5 with a diagnosis of asd and severe learning disability. However compared to other kids with same diagnosis he sticks out like a sore thumb. So much that I'm beginning to wonder if his learning disability would be considered profound. He spends his time playing with ribbon and string and mouthing everything in sight. He can watch a little tv and loves to swing and climb up and down on jungle gym. He also loves to bounce. He can not yet sort by even one criterion, nor can he match. He still cannot do a 4 piece puzzle . He can exchange one or two pecs card for a drink and a snack but usually requires a prompt and does not yet travel with pec. He puts shapes into an open sorter but recently can do the square. Everything is hand over hand apart from basic posting. Basically his progress is at a snails pace. Anyone else have a child with a profound learning disability?
