Cyprus surprised me yesterday. While I was working with Juniper and his learning specialist I got out blocks for Cyprus to play with. Within a half an hour he was picking through the pile of blocks for specific letters, then lining them up in a row, then reading them allowed.
These words included:
Pie
Team
Bake
Sheep
Shut
Cut
Wait
And so much more. I was flabbergasted. One of the things I struggle with how Cyprus manifests his autism is that I never know what he is thinking nor what he comprehends. And yet here he was putting words together, sounding them out, and reading them.
The specialist and I just stared at each other. I had no clue Cyprus could read. I knew he knew the alphabet and I knew he knew some word association from educational videos we watch frequently. But some of the words he was using I do not recall being on those programs. I am so proud of him and quite impressed. Go Cyprus!!!!
