Anyway, this post really spoke to me: Like Norrin, Hallie (who is 4.5), also began to do imaginative play by scaffolding off of scripts that were familiar to her. She got her ideas from TV and stories and then acted them out at home. Now, about 6 months after she began to do that, she's elaborating and coming up with some new scenarios (this is a slow process, but it's happening). So I think that your instincts are right. Echolalia and scripting might be construed as stimming, but I think that in the way our kids are using them, they are also stepping stones to more elaborate, imaginative play.abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03403145277760263562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774214343639058519.post-49153039326059820382010-11-11T07:52:21.960-08:002010-11-11T07:52:21.960-08:00I love what you bring to us and show us true love ...I love what you bring to us and show us true love and patience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774214343639058519.post-39980032365378275492010-11-08T11:16:32.255-08:002010-11-08T11:16:32.255-08:00I read this at work..I should've known better ...I read this at work..I should've known better as I was all misty-eyed and everyone asked if I was okay LOL..you are an incredible writer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774214343639058519.post-6981914655632331232010-11-07T16:30:06.130-08:002010-11-07T16:30:06.130-08:00Beautiful and eloquent, Lisa.
