Facial Expressions
Hosted by “Tracy” at “Mother May I,” but the photo-picture below will whizz you right there with one click.
True they’re pumpkin facial expression but he drew 30 plus a cover, all different.
This is a very particular triumph around here. Facial expressions and body language in general, are notoriously difficult for some autistic children to interpret. This is often associated with “face blindness,” but I’ll try not to get off track. Quite often, depending upon their vocabulary and age, they’re quite adept at naming different emotions. However, on the whole there are far too many of them. Happy, sad or angry was quite enough. Whilst this works as a broad rule of thumb, it can be jolly handy to have a few additional ones at your disposal.

That is impressive. 30 distinct emotions are not easy for many folks to come up with, much less be able to draw them.
Congrats!

What a great project and a great way for him to get the concept and express himself. AWESOME!
(I will have to try to remember these for when Will gets older0

Great work! I don’t think I could come up with thirty myself!
So creative to choose pumpkins too — I love the idea of making a book.

30 different facial impressions? I’m impressed and if your boys could see my face right now,I’m sure they’d recognize the impression!
We use either suns or flowers and we made it to four different impressions so far. But we keep trying!

This is a great idea. I’m going to do this with my boys and see how many they can draw!
