sean macro: i can has pull-up nao?

Boy comes in to the room, stands with his back to me, leaning against my knees (I am sitting in a chair). Takes both of my hands, puts them down next to his legs (one on each side of his body). Lifts up one foot as if to step into an invisible pull-up.

This goes with the previous miming attempt of 'invisible toybox'. He's inventing his own full-body attempts at sign/communication. It's fascinating to watch.

The funny thing about that is that he started the kisses thing himself. :-) It was one of the biggest reasons why people kept telling us he wasn't autistic - he's such an affectionate little guy, always hugging and kissing and climbing in people's laps.
