Re: you don't have to!
Sep 24, 2003, 19:29
You just reminded me, I used to have in my tuition, a boy of 16 yrs, profoundly autistic in many ways, high functioning, yet emotive and given to doodling. In a real-life parody of the fast-show,whenever he became angry or agitated, he would mix the colours to BLACK! BLAaaAACK!!!

Another one would refuse to draw, we couldn't teach him he would just rip the paper with a pencil. One day, he drew my watch, just there and then, it was a total shock. Even the digital LCD all rendered in lines. The whole was composed of lazy squares, but completely recognisable. But in answer to your questioning whether a child would draw a person/object unless it was instructed to, or would it just doodle, I haven't a clue! I want to know NOW. I'll just go and make a baby, brb.
