I walked into my second visit with a client today two weeks after my initial visit. and upon seeing me
he walked around to the back of the class room, took a bin of cars off of the shelf, dug through the bin
to get the green garbage truck and a police car, walked over to me, and put the police car in the
garbage truck just as we had done over and over again during our initial visit. I am completely
astounded that not only did he remember me but remembered the exact play routine we engaged in!
This reminded of another little girl who upon seeing me enter her daycare for my second visit ever
retrieved a particular yellow dump truck from a shelf, walked up to me, and grabbed for my clip board to
roll the truck down just as we had done during our first visit a month ago!

Spectacular memory and association!

ASD mind is truly amazing and makes me think that the real goal of early intervention should be to help
these child communicate with the world all the wonderful things that are going on in their minds and
share their gifts.
