Both my kids watch a lot of sci fi. My son turns 5 in a few weeks.
My Autistic son: Mummy, is C3PO a roboman?
Me: I think he is just a normal robot?
My son: It makes sense with Darth vader and the storm troopers though.
He is right, it does make sense. Now whenever I think of young anakin, I will picture him going around tattooeen harvasting brains. |

|
|
Driving in the car the other day, my 7 year-old with PDD-NOS wanted to know about why people looked like their parents. I try to explain that genetics make up who we are and we inherit those from our parents when we are being made as babies. Basically it is in our genes that we look a certain way.
He very seriously asks me, "Mama, what color jeans were you wearing at the hospital the day you had me to give me brown hair?"
I told him (while trying not to crack up!) that these genes were not like pants but little parts of our bodies on the inside... i could see the wheels turning trying to figure out how many little pairs of 'jeans' were floating around inside our bodies.  |

My son Cameron and I are big Fleet Foxes fans. His first word was "Focket". I thought, "Who let that one slip?"  Then one day he said, "Feet Focket," and I realized he was saying "Fleet Foxes."
Cameron, who is 3, has serious echolalia coupled with a good bit of musical ability. When he was less than 1 year old, he sang the entire chorus and coda of a really gloomy Fleet Foxes song while I was changing his diaper: "Dear shadow alive and well / how does the body die? You tell / me everything, anything true. / I don't know what I have done. / I'm turning myself into a demon. / Ladada..."
Eeeek.  |

Well, here ya go, then.
When I was around 8 years old in the car with my mom, I saw a bumper sticker that said, "honk if you're horny". So even though I didn't know what "horny" meant, I reached over and honked the horn. |

My little brother has his moments too.
One day, I took him to the park and a jogger flashed a very yellow smile at us as he went by. My brother's eyes widened and he said,"You need to brush your teeth! |

I think my guy watches too much TV. He keeps saying, "I have POCD."  After a while I realized he was repeating a COPD medicine commercial. Good thing he didn't get stuck on a Cialis commercial...  |

| (4 year old son with autism) "There's a thousand dollars in the crackers!" (While spinning and holding a handful of crackers.) -- Almost everything he says is is hilarious and only half of it ever makes any sense. |

My daughter, age 4, freaked out in a public restroom a few weeks ago. A larger woman came in and went into a stall. My daughter started shouting, "Mommy! She's not going to fit! Mommy she's stuck! HELP HER!"
Oooooooh yeah.... I shouted an apology, clamped my hand over her mouth and got the heck out. |

| We were waiting for chinese takeout one time when my DS was around 4 and this white haired older black gentleman came in. My son was just staring, then pulled me close and said "Is he a gorilla?" I wanted to sink into the floor. Then the nice gentleman smiled really big and said "No, son, I am not a gorilla." Thank god for people not easily offended. |

I'm not a parent but I'm a childcare provider. This morning when I was walking the children to school, the little girl I take care of said to me, "I know why they sing "Oh Canada" before sports games. It's kind of like praying just in case they die."
This was all because we were talking about how her younger brother goes to see car races with their grandpa. I couldn't help but smile a bit after she said that. |

| One of my daycare children asked why her raspberries had hair on them. I didn't know what she meant until I realized that she meant the little skins on the raspberry that looks like hair. I had to laugh about that one. I explained it to her, it's almost like she didn't believe me at first. |

| I was thinking about a t-shirt I saw once that said, "Duh-nu-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh...BATMAN" and I apparently was murmuring it under my breath without realizing it, because my 3 YO son began screaming it at the top of his lungs and laughing. |
