[quote=Anonymous]15:34 hit the nail on the head with things you didn’t realize were challenges/needs. I also have a 4 year old with level 2 autism. His OT picked up on some needs with lack of grip strength, and areas of regulation in terms of being able to attend and follow directions. My kid struggled (still struggles!) in both preferred and non preferred activities. Preferred activities he’d want to go off on his own and explore and not wait for directions. Non preferred activities he wouldn’t want to do at all. Some of that can be learned gradually as he he gets older with more patience and experience, but it’s a lot harder for ASD/ADHD/otherwise ND kids of all ages to learn it. And level 2 kids can be mainstreamed at school with supports and pull-outs, so I don’t want my kid to be disruptive when it’s time for whatever activity and he either goes nuts because he loves it, or elopes/refuses to participate because he doesn’t like it.
