For my oldest, if he really wants us to know what he wants, he'll use the color of the thing. Sometimes, the color sticks even though it makes no sense over time. Sometimes it depends on the location and situation.
- black - I want to go to my room to be alone.
- yellow - I want to listen to that one CD I like that you have in the van.
- green - I want to play with that one particular toy.
- pink - I want my sister to get out of my face.
- red - I want to watch YouTube.
- purple - I want some ice water (not just water, specifically ice water).
- orange - I want an orange.
Blue and white have been used, but not for anything that has stuck.
He did this color thing all on his own. It might have originated with orange. Fruit is absolute favorite food. He'll eat it until he pukes.
