last night watching the TV intently (hardly ever does) as it was on 'pause', the scene was of a motorcyclist passing some cars...
He watched intently for about a minute then raised both hands to a fist and oposing movements up and down. maybe it was a 'car' sign, or maybe it was a 'bike' sign (handlebars maybe?) who knows? anyhoo, he repeated the action 2 or 3 times (didnt look around for the 'shared attention' thing tho, not seeming to want to communicate something (hes non-verbal) but more of something copied and remembered, I hadnt just shown him.
I was just really pleased - he did it all on his own, pity i didnt understand, and he didnt actually do it to me. but hey ho! brill!!!
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
