Obssession with the GPS

This morning we attended an event organized by Autism Society of America (ASA) Chapter. They organized a movie event at a large AMC movie theater to see Shrek the Third. The event took place at 9:30am. When we arrived, I could not believe how many families actually showed up. It was packed. A girl with Autism talked about her life and experiences for about 5 minutes. It was very inspiring to see such happy girl talk about how she has autism and the things that she has accomplished.

Jonathan and Vanessa enjoyed the movie. After the movie, we went to eat and then home. Jonathan has been obsessed with our minivan's GPS for about 3 weeks. When we arrived at home, he was very excited to see my new hybrid car, but soon realized that it had no GPS and the entire day revolved around him wanting to buy a GPS and how sad the car was because it did not have a GPS. He drew a couple of pictures where he clearly demonstrates what a terrific memory he has.

He drew and wrote everything on this page.

The triangle inside the circle represents the car (as it was in the GPS) and the places the car went. Moby Dick is the Persian restaurant that he likes. All the writing was done by him.

Jonathan did a lot of pretend play with Vanessa where he was the leader. But whenever Vanessa changed the idea, he did not get upset - which is a big step because he always gets mad. They had some issues in the morning sharing the coloring paper, but as the day went by, they got along better.

Biomedical:

Besides his regular dose of supplements, I gave him an EDTA suppository.

Yasko's Nutrigenomics: she has a supplemental test that only tests the genes that were not included in her original SNPs test: http://www.holisticheal.com/store/product.php?productid=671&cat=124&page=1
