Samuel regarding the sink drain: "it's swallowing."
While looking at a picture with "hidden" pictures, I noticed for the first time today that Baby U is picking out the hidden objects faster than Samuel. I don't know if that means Samuel is slow, but it sure looks like Baby U is picking up a lot for a 3 year old.
I saw an article testing undergraduates who were exposed to math concepts in an abstract, just learn the formula approach. Those students were compared to others who were given the same subject matter in a more hands-on, real-life approach. Guess what -- the students with the more abstract presentation did better when tested on the information. I don't know how much this applies to a spectrum kid, but it does potentially challenge our assumptions regarding math.
