The Autism Pizza
It's a good explanation of how things line up on the spectrum.
1. The Crust: Lack of Social Interaction (poor eye contact, not sharing interests with you, no pointing/gesturing)
2. The Sauce: Impaired Communication (possibly no speech, poor conversation skills, repetitive language, echolalia, no make-believe play)
3. The Cheese: Stereotypical Activities & Interests (extreme routine, strong interest in certain things, stimming [flapping, atypical play, etc.] -- like spinning wheels, lining toys up, stacking, etc.)
If you have all of those things: crust, sauce, cheese, you made an Autism pizza. It might have different toppings, but you can look at it and know it's still a pizza. If your pizza doesn't have sauce, that's Aspergers's. If your pizza is missing more than that but still kind of looks like a pizza, that's PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified)

Go Chris!! I can't believe he called you a poophead though.
you are indeed such a sweet Mom, no wonder you've got a sweet kid too! keep it up!
OH NO HE DIDN'T!
That's hilarious! I guess it's better than being called the worst poopy head, right? lol Kids!
Thanks so much for playing along with "OH NO HE DIDN'T!" Tuesday. Next week, I'll be using Linky Tools and posting it as a blog hop so you can grab the linky and add it to your post as well. If you'd like to play along next week and add the linky to your post, other bloggers will be able to link up at your blog for OH NO HE DIDN'T! Tuesday. :) Thanks again. Have a great weekend.
Kristi, Live and Love...Out Loud
