People with autism tend to take everything literally, which can make for difficult times. You have to explain every Idiom. (See the "2 Birds + 1 Stone = Poor Boy" post from a few weeks ago) But it can also make for humorous times....like the one I had today.
This afternoon Jonathan comes to me:
"Mom...I'm soooooooooooo hungry. Can I have a snack?"
It was 4:45, and if he had a snack at that point, he would never eat dinner.
So, I said "No, honey, dinner is right around the corner"
To which he replied, "Well come on then. Let's take a walk around the corner!!"
Gotta love it!
I'm still...
