My girl just turned 5 years old, and got her first official IEP under ASD. We have yet to get an official diagnosis, but my own suspicion is Aspergers.
A lot of the talking we do is and has always been storytelling--as a toddler, it was Winnie the Pooh. For the past year, it's been Super Why--her current fave is Princess Presto, with me as Wonder Red. There is a distinct Calvin and Hobbes quality to our PP/WR conversations, with me using WR to try to give her insight on the social situations she has so much trouble with sometimes.
I never saw "Darmok", but my dad's friend's nephew was the screenwriter and Dad gave me a copy of the script. I don't know a lot about the writer, but dealing with my daughter day to day definitely has brought the episode to mind more than once.
(huskiebear is an old dear friend of mine (she was in the room when kidlet was born) and suggested I get in touch.)
