[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks 9:59, you raise a good point and I totally agree with you!  We want to encourage our kids' verbal skills.

I'm the PP with the 6 y.o. son with Aspergers.  His issue is that he fixates on unusual things, like the color of a person's hair.  (He gets on this kick where he won't refer to a person by name; he refers to them by hair color, which can be frustrating because most people have brown or black hair and we don't know who he's talking about!)  He also will ask the same question multiple times, even after it has been answered multiple times.

When he's engaging in conversation and making seemingly random connections, I know that's a good thing!  It's when there's a lack of reciprocity or he doesn't catch on to cues that people are getting confused/frustrated/bored with what he's saying that I know we need to intervene.[/quote]

Sounds like you have a great handle on managing all this stuff.  Do you ever ask him how he came to the random connections?  It's really interesting to get the "behind the scenes" according to my husband. LOL!  [/quote]
