My Autism Journey Day 18-The house across the street from us sold and a new family moved in. They had two boys and Spencer wanted to meet them. We went over to introduce ourselves. I still remember Paige was in a huge Blue’s Clues phase. When we told her to say “hi” she said, “Hi, Steeb (Steve).” The neighbor boys heard her say that each time we met a new member of their family. The youngest boy said, “Does she think everyone is named Steve?” Spencer told him, “Yes” and he accepted it. Paige wasn’t able to just say hi without pairing it with the name Steve because that was how she had heard it on her TV show. She still has some delayed echolalia today. As a family, we are just used to this. It’s one of the little things that make her Paige.
