Today's Autism Family Picture of the Day is once again of Emmett John. I saw him interacting with one of our dogs, Maggie and I had to snap a picture.
What struck me when I first saw this was how much it reminded of one of the things that led to the pursuit of an Autism diagnosis in the first place.
I remember when we were first going through the diagnostic process with Case Western, they ask us a really strange question.
They asked if Emmett was more curious about how something worked, than actually using that something. The example they gave was this: *if Emmett were to play with a toy truck, would he push it around on the floor or would he flip it over and explore how it worked? *
Of course, Emmett would do just that. He always flipped the truck over and played with the wheels, exploring how it worked. He was fascinated by how things worked.
When I saw Emmett and Maggie this morning, I was instantly transported back in time to when I was first asked that question. It's just kinda interesting how some things never change. :-)
