Yakuzza Lethecus: good morning riddle
Riddle Sideways: Hello, Snoopy Yak
Riddle Sideways: and Woodstock
Riddle Sideways: like we said last week... try these avatar-characters-play for a while
Riddle Sideways: how has your Snoopy week gone?
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: :) waiting for reciprocal play
Riddle Sideways: btw - fastinating subject (thank you whomever brought this topic)
Riddle Sideways: doing much reading about Autism
Yakuzza Lethecus: santoshima i think in the meeting, how come you´re reading about autism ?
Riddle Sideways: might misunderstand, but Googling gave many refs to reciprocal play theropy for Autism
Riddle Sideways: for/with/about
Riddle Sideways: plus, Sunday had spend about a half hour with Jason, an 18yr old autistic
Riddle Sideways: The topic might have been put forth on how we can group play, group story-tell and/or sharing
Riddle Sideways: however the research went a different way
Yakuzza Lethecus: i don´t know much about autism, the label sure i´ve heard extreme kids able to do fantastic things but unable to work in social context still i have no experience and those extreme cases in the media put a layer over actual ,,normal" reality i guess
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: well, thinking about the time with Jason and this reciprocal play...
Riddle Sideways: he mostly can't. It almost does not work.
Riddle Sideways: But, then again... everything was back adn forth chat
Riddle Sideways: he burst something out and then it was my turn to respond.
Riddle Sideways: that seems reciprocal
Riddle Sideways: Jason (and Rene) are extreme cases that are fascinating to spend time playing with
Riddle Sideways: however, the degree to which others with/don't have social interaction difficulties
Riddle Sideways: is even more fascinating
Riddle Sideways: years ago, there was a 5+ hour airplane ride next to a person that introduced themselves as a little autistic
Riddle Sideways: we probably bothered everybody on the plane, but had a great time
Yakuzza Lethecus: well great time and bothering each other contradicts itself a little :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: but glad you had a great time
Yakuzza Lethecus: i wonder about the level of autism, to some extend there are more and more children recieving a diagnose like aspergers these days
Riddle Sideways: exactly the point. How much attention deficit . . . . hey a little birdie
Riddle Sideways: are the same things a varying degrees
Riddle Sideways: *at
Riddle Sideways: our drummer can't stay on topic for over a minute
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: the lady on the plane could stay on topic about a half minute
Riddle Sideways: back and forth play seems to keep happening tho
Riddle Sideways: allowing your play partner to modify your play
Riddle Sideways: sounds like reciprocal
Riddle Sideways: and yet, Yak is not replying :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: i just don´t know what to say, thinking a bit about nature and nurture of these things
Yakuzza Lethecus: how much even autistic behavior is acquired by all the media temptations in our lives
Yakuzza Lethecus: which exposure is good, which subjects should i stay with
Riddle Sideways: :)
Riddle Sideways: many times that happens. In mid play, a topic, an idea, a memory goes by
Riddle Sideways: personally want to comment, relive, go further
Riddle Sideways: but the opportunity slips away
Riddle Sideways: play has gone another direction
Yakuzza Lethecus: i kind of like when there are a lot of avatars around and they are all playful :)
Riddle Sideways: harder when only 2 ?
--BELL--
Yakuzza Lethecus: yes, at least for me i often like to say nothing over hole sessions but google for like autism this session or internet radio possiblilites yesterday when sunshine gave the link to her internet radio, so get a bit out of my own mindset
Riddle Sideways: seems that is what Play is
Yakuzza Lethecus: or even to work and reflect upon the own mindset with the 90 seconds, or to see how i habitually not do playing or even 9 sec
Yakuzza Lethecus: see you soon riddle
