WEll, today was MUCH better. I was calm and all smiles. I gave him lots of physical contact which he requires. SO much so at times I have to ask him for my space. When he saw the multiplication problems he immediately began to engage in his dance. I said, "Count to 10 and take a deep breathe." we're going to do it together. He did 4 problems correctly and missed the last one b/c he said 6x6=12. We had lots of noise and being silly but it was a much nicer time.
