Asperger's: My life as an Earthbound alien. INTERACTION SQUIGGLE. Jean A. Thurow, Psy.D. Thurow, J. (1989) Interactional Squiggle Drawings with Children: An illustration of the Therapeutic Change Process. The Focusing Folio. Vol. 8, n. 4, pp. 149-186. This paper is centered around a presentation of D.W.Winnicott’s squiggle game as I have come to use it in my work with children.

In his book, Therapeutic Consultations in Child Psychiatry, Winnicott presented 20 clinical examples of what looks to be initially a simple drawing game. He used the game in the first interview with a child and explained it as “one way of getting in contact” with children (Winnicott, 1971b, p. 3). As I began to actually play the squiggle game I became more and more aware of the drawing sequences.

Winnicott also suggested that the drawings could be used to communicate something of the child to others, as in consultations with parents and teachers. I also discovered that squiggles had their difficulties. Without a framework, the drawings within the game can lack inner coherence. OASIS - Online Asperger Syndrome Information and Support.

Adhd. "Aspie Handbook For Life" If you can aline a heatsink, the bike axels have outer locking nuts, and bearing cones. The cones are tapered, and ride in the bearing, when there is wear, they get loose, and there is side play, the tire wiggles. Too tight there is friction, it is just a matter of screwing in the cones, till the wheel will spin without drag, just a touch, and there is no side to side play at the tire, then tighten the outer locking nuts, while pulling back on the wheel, to tighten the chain, and centering the front of the wheel between the frame members. This is done with the bike upside down, keeping your rear wheel true, the bearings adjusted, and chain tension, are as important as keeping the right air pressure.

Front wheels are set alighnment, but you still have to watch bearing clearance and tire pressure. Like fixing a flat, it is something you should know how to do, for bikes work when they do, but go from bad to worse if not kept tuned. Any problems PM me.
