We all know that idioms are very difficult for our kids on the spectrum. They live in such a black and white world, how can it rain cats and dogs or how can someone die laughing? James has spent a loooooong time working on this particular linguistic conundrum. I judge his success by when he first uses the idiom seamlessly in his language. It happened tonight during math. The problem was $17.98 X 8
He kept getting the wrong answer and try as he often as he did, he just couldn't figure this one out. He kept at it and eventually, rubbed his head, took a deep breath, and stated, "This problem has me in a pickle!" He eventually figured out what he did and math was finally over. Just thought I would share before I go to bed. Good night all!!!!
