One thing you might contemplate here... are you getting your ds excited... or is whatever you're doing giving him enough clues/support/scaffolding that he's *able* to get started?

I think engaging in conversation about a topic gets him going, intellectually. He likes to converse. Also, when we do this, he normally is standing, throwing a ball back and forth against the wall, moving and being funny. I'm not sure if that is DS managing anxiety, or DS trying to use his own personal activation strategies.
