I think that when Rye is feeling pressure or stress he goes to the language that is familiar. The language that he understands because it comes with a visual understanding. Most people who hear Rye scripting in the neighborhood or in the line at the grocery store probably have absolutely no idea what the heck he is talking about. If you take the time to really look at what he is saying it is pretty amazing to see how he is able to apply language from movies to the appropriate context in his everyday life.
My child has Autism. Sailing the seas can be rough at times. There are storms, obstacles and problems navigating. Autism in our world is a lot like piracy. It robs. It hijacks. It leaves you battling for your vessel and your child’s new path. Autism also presents you a world of discovery, hidden treasure, and challenges you realize you’re up for. Life is a balance, and it’s no different with a child on the Spectrum. Autism Pirate is a blog devoted to discussing the good, the bad and the ugly.

I've got a BAD feeling about this...
Yesterday my sister-in-law Susan said to me, "I think I need to watch more movies so I can understand what Rye is saying." I had to laugh because I totally agree. Wyatt and my niece, Kylee understand what he is saying more than we do because they have seen the movies he is scripting from. I thought it would be interesting to think about the top 5 things that I hear him say in pressure situations. The results were pretty amazing.

thanks!
DeleteRye needs to hang out at our house. We are always quoting movies. And occasionally we'll burst into song too. I think he would fit in perfectly.
ReplyDeleteHe loves to talk movies!!
