poor baby

One of the things about autism is that it traps you in a world of your own - where movies, t.v. shows, computer games, and tape stories play on repeat at who knows what volume or intensity. Needless to say, it makes learning to communicate like learning English as a foreign language, as an 80-year-old, in a loud stadium, while having rocks stuck in your shoe. And you don't want to learn it anyways.
The phrases that do come out are often as hysterically funny as those product warnings written by non-native English speakers.

(heard today from my little redhead who is on the autism spectrum....)

"Oh no! Oh no! I'm stuck in my class!"

He really really really didn't want to write, but I was making him. What a cute cry for help! If only it helped him get out of his work like he'd hoped.
