We are back again to help teach you
and give you tips and techniques to how to work
with your individual's with autism that you may be working with,
whether that is your child, your student, or
an adult that you're working with.
And R.J. is back again to show you a technique that
he taught me, because I've learned so much from
all the children and adults that I've worked with,
but this is a wonderful thing that R.J. taught me.
I don't really do this anymore. This was happening
when I was just about 9.
Yea, we've transitioned
I'm 12.
But one thing that, why this is so important
is because a lot of our children, or audults don't like sports,
and I think often we think that Sport is the only way
that our kids want to exercise,
or can exercise.
Um, But R.J., He's a big time reader. He likes books.
You used to tell me you wanted to be an author, right?
Yea, but now I just want to be something else which I can't really tell people.
Allright, but you're not a big sport guy, right?
no.no. no.
So, what we used to do when R.J. was 9, but now he's 12
is we read books, or poems. We used to read a lot of
Shel Silverstein poems, which I loved because
it challenged me because I couldn't read that quick and do all that, but it was good stuff, right?
And what is this book? Can you tell them?
Um, so this book, and um I recommend this series.
It's called the origomiota series, it's called
Emperor Templeteen rides the bus, so Coach Dave is
going to be reading a chapter. I picked this one out.
And while I jump on this trampoline, he's going to be reading this.
And then after you do a certain amount of jumps on the trampoline,
until he gets tired, and then maybe can we go over there and do the dumbbell press?
Ok, Yea.
Allright, perfect.
Allright, here we go. Here's how it goes.
The chapter is "The Dark Side is Strong on The Bus and so is the smell of Pickel"
That's the Chapter.
Ok, here we go.
It's pretty funny guys.
As usual, this case file would be a total disaster
without me. See, even though Radksy took
Robsky, thank you, took away Tommy's notebook and Mike's
Holocron, which is also a notebook, she didn't take my
brother's recorder thingy which basically looks like a keychain.
haha haha ha
I knew I couldn't record the whole trip, and who would want to?
But I kept it handy incase something unusual happened.
You okay?
Yea, I'm just..
go easier?
yep.
Allright, I think we've been on there 30 seconds. that's excellent. Keep going.
So naturally when Tommy said "Gross, Harvey did you just pull that out of your underwear?"
haha, I hit the record button right away.
So here's what happened after Tommy said
"Gross Harvey, did you just pull that out of your underwear?"
"Harvey, evil chuckle." What's an evil chuckle?
he he hee heeeen
nice.
I hate doing evil chuckles
hahahahaha
"Tommy, What the H-- is that?"
Harvey- "He he heee hee Hee"
" It has all happened as I have foreseen."
Coach Dave needs to work on his uh, reading technique.
I'll read this part for you.
He sounded like a dying cow with a British accent.
Nice, now let's go here.
Dumbbell press. Lay on the ground.
Good, so again, Moving. Exercising.
Not thinking about it, but being motivated by a book.
Ok, which I love.
Here we go. Harvey was so freakishly pleased with himself
that I wanted to punch him even before I figured out
what he was up to. When I did figure it out,
I really wanted to punch him. he had...
We don't want to be punching people though, right?
No.
He had an origami puppet on his finger, all black
It was like a black robe with a hood,
and inside the hood was...
a pickle
What is this pickle thing?
Just Keep Reading.
uh, actually a wrinkly nasty picked slice with
a couple of mean looking red eye balls stuck on.
I guess I have to read the previous chapters, huh?
NO. just keep doing it. Its the first chapter.
Ok, keep going, you are doing an excellent job.
What muscles are we working?, Tell everyone.
Uh, The biceps in your arms.
Your arms, which the bicep is part of the arm right?
Yea,
Do you remember what this part is?
Oh, the under arm.
Yes, it is the underarm, but its also called the tr...
trisep
Thank you, and your
Heart Strap
You probably wore that in gym class right?
But what is this part of your body?
The Heart.
Yes, and what's these muscles?
Chest.
Excellent.
Okay, so continuously trying to educate while he's exercising or your student or your kids.
all right, I'm going to read another one and then we'll stand up and I think we'll be done.
okay, just read a couple.
Allright, he took a long pause, enjoying the fact that he had an audience.
I know someone who likes an audience.
You.
Kind of, but
You're pointing at me aren't you.
I wish I had giving him the pleasure of seeing
me watch him in his moment of triumph, but
how could you not look. Harvey, It's emperor pickle time.
Pickelteen
Pickelteen, is that a real pickle?
No wonder it stinks.
Behold the force of the sour side of the
Sour Side of the Force.
You better read the first part so they don't...
come on, stand up.
ok.
oh, not the feet.
all right, so R.J. just exercised non stop for probably a good 5 minutes.
How do you feel?
Tired.
Tired, which is a good goal.
good goal, to have you feel tired
We read some books. We learned about the muscles. What else?
Nothing else.
That's it. Alright. Do you have anything else you want to tell them, or help other people?
Read a better day, read a better life.
