I overheard this conversation last week between dd(10) and her 9yo NT best friend. I had to go outside afterward and laugh, after the whole rudeness/apology discussion.
So they're sitting together on the couch watching a movie and best friend is also looking at a pre-teen magazine..
BF- Do you want to take this quiz.
DD- Okay.. (She good naturedly takes about 3 quizzes in this manner...)
BF- Ohh..do you want to try this quiz..it's about what boy is right for you.
DD- What I WANT to do is watch the movie but SOMEBODY won't shut up long enough for me to watch it!
Luckily dd's best friend is used to her and her "quirks", but her face still blanched at this one. All was good ten minutes later, but it does crack me up when it happens out of the blue like that! |

Funny scenario with me and my (then) 4 year old daughter:
Mom: Get out of the kitchen!
KC: No!
Mom: Get out! I'm going to count to three and then you'd better be out of there!
KC: No!!!
Mom: One. Two. Three!
KC: Four!
Mom: There is no four!!!
KC: Oh well done mommy!
That was probably one of the longest sentences she was able to say for a while.
And also, today there was this crazy misquito thing buzzing above us in a circle, which was VERY amusing to KC. It went and landed on the ceiling and KC said "that's like an airplane animal".

The other night at dinner my 6 year old daughter was squirting Braggs Liquid Aminos (it's like soy sauce) directly into her mouth,
Her father looked at her, told her nicely she can't do that and took the bottle away.
She became very upset. She demanded he give it back because she needed it,
He told her that she did not need it.
Her "But it has all my essential amino acids."
At this point, I stepped in and asked if she knew what amino acids were.
Her "Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein, and I NEED them!"

"It's ... cry", adorable!
Does something an NT child said to his autistic mother count?
Yesterday, my son asked me what I did when I was a little boy. |

Yesterday my son, who'd been playing in the back yard, suddenly burst through the front door, saying, "Don't ask."
We didn't.
I was also beyond thrilled when my son spontaneously shared some of his candy eggs with a little boy who didn't find many. He tends to be incredibly jealous of other kids AND is massively fixated on sweets, so this was huge. I think some protective feeling towards the little kids he plays with has awakened in him (maybe especially since these are the little kids who lost their dad recently.)

That's funny. My son is now saying, "Do you have a wah?" when the baby starts crying. |

| I am a preschool teacher with several children with ASD. I am a new teacher so I am wondering when you hear your children saying these funny things, how do you respond? Most of the things I hear are cute and innocent. Sometimes they are disruptive or rude and a response should be something besides a giggle. I cannot help my self though. They are often so quiet and when these students are heard saying something I am always surprised and I often giggle. So if you are in public and hear your child saying something funny, but inappropriate, what do you do? |

| It is important to give them a clear message when they have said something inappropriate especially if it is something that would hurt someone's feelings. Just like with a 2 year old, you don't want to reward inappropriate behavior by laughing, as difficult as that may be at times. You can be gentle though and be encouraging of them for saying something and offer an idea of a better way to express themselves. Also, try if you can to help them make the connection of the effect their words can have on others. |

Well much of what my 4-year-old says is echolalia, so he does sometimes say rude things that I don't think he knows the meaning of. I just ignore it because if I try to get him to stop, he just keeps saying it, sometimes more loudly. |

As I noted in my post above, always, when dd is rude the first thing we do is talk about why what she said was rude/inappropriate. Now directly after that I may be locking myself in the bathroom to laugh, but I do not let her see that reaction. We've also talked about the difference between thinking something- ie- gram looks horrible in that dress and expressing that thought out loud. We talk a lot about thinking about how she would feel about it if someone said that to her, before she says it to someone else, and that's seemed to help a lot. |
