I just love these posts! I think if you'd ask my son, he would tell you that he'd rather have a five inch piece of wood impaled forever in his hand than have me pull it out with a tweezer. I have left large chunks of wood in his hand (he likes to run his hand on any kind of fence or railing, so I pray for metal and not natural wood- doesn't he get that it might give him a splinter?) because I didn't want to have to fight a kid almost as big as me that clearly wasn't as bothered by it as I was.
I have had people look at me like I am so mean, when I am only trying to follow DS's rules.
And does anyone notice that we can all name off our Aspie's "Rules". I can name some of our household rules;
1) No tags.
2) No scratchy clothes; nothing other than silky or cotton material.
3) No zippers or buttons.
4) No loud noises (unless DS makes them, and the louder the better).
5) No sitting too close to him, unless he choses to sit on top of you first.
6) No dogs can approach him, unless he choses to sit on top of them first.
7) No food eaten on anything other than the table unless it's on his tray with the picture facing him.
8) No kids can touch him, unless he choses to sit on top of them first.
9) No baths/showers unless he desperately wants one and you're too tired to help.
10) He lives in Paris, and will permanently move there when he turns 30. He will have 7 cats and 12 dogs. His house will have 23 stories but only eight rooms, and every room has a ceiling fan. He will have three pianos, and one room will be reserved for his sister when she visits him. When he is 59, he will be an astronaut (which is "really old). This is not funny.
11) He has to ask how old every adult he meets is, even if he asked them a few minutes ago.
12) He hates being HOT, thirsty, hungry, tired, annoyed, over-stimulated, under-stimulated, and when anyone watches any TV in the house on a channel he doesn't like.
13) He can steal his sister's toys but she can't touch his or he will die.
12) The best rule is "Just when you think you remember all the rules, they will change. There will be a test".
