HFA Captured On Film

Autism, A Photo.

 

This is the best picture of HFA I have.

Can you see all the signs of autism here?

 

There's 6 on display.

 

1. lack of eye contact

2. sensory seeking behaviour (climbing on table to be up high)

3. Stimming just look at those twisty fingers.

4. Unusual fixation on objects, dice are cool.

5. Repetitive Behaviours sorting, stacking and lining dice up for hours

6. Toe walking, Ok. this one is you can't really tell in a picture. But she was, I swear.

 

It is just a perfect picture of HFA.

 

In this photo Tiger has just finished "playing" with a box of dice. It's probably not clear enough to tell in the photo, but the dice are all sorted out according to size and number of sides. She liked the mini square dice the best, so they got a line to themselves. She "played" with them for hours, stacking and sorting them different ways, she had so much "fun" that Daddybear gave her his collection of dice. She still pulls them out and sorts them on bad days now. This photo was taken a couple years ago, but it's one of the ones that sticks with me. I have other photos of Tiger sorting, stacking and lining stuff up. The Christmas I received a Keurig ( All Hail Fast Coffee) she ignored her new toys to sort the K-cups.

 

Tiger is awesome at sorting stuff. but somehow that skill hasn't made it to clean vs dirty clothes?

 

The High Functioning Life, where we don't build with Lego, so much as we sort it out by colour and number of bumps.
