My 18yo son just came back from a day out and

[Missiopi]

Gave me this. I love elephants.
He stopped in Asda on the way home after spending the day with his friends.
He is autistic and sometimes it's hard to gauge his emotions but I just found it so lovely that he thought of me 😭

How lovely OP.
Very cute

Awwww thats so nice

Awwwww, I love this post! What a lovely son you’ve raised. I know what you mean, my DS is also autistic and it means so much when they think of you and show it.

That's just lovely. What a dear boy

What a lovely post x

Exactly.

I know he loves me but I don't think he would ever say it o me unprompted or he wouldn't approach me for a hug ever.

But something like this just means the world to me. It just feels like his way of letting me know.

Maybe I'm overthinking it 🤣

I'll enjoy it anyhow!

He knocked on my bedroom, said 'for you' and (lightly) threw it at me 🤣🤣 but I'll take it

What a kind and considerate son you have!

That's so lovely.

That is so cute. He thought of you and considered what you would like. That's precious.

That is a very cute elephant OP, what a thoughtful gift. I think I need to get my autistic ds to get me a cuddly toy so I can get cuddles from him via the toy 😂.

That's what I'm doing! Substitute hugs!

This is so lovely 😍

You just won the internet today. Love this. ♥

@Missiopi 😭 I've had a bit of a rubbish day and this has just nearly tipped me!
What a lovely son you have and what a great job you've done.

Ah that's lovely.. My ds 10 told me yesterday I looked like a potato in my brown top.. Not his finest hour the little buggar!!

That is so lovely ❤

Haha so funny 😆 boys are so great

@Dolambslikemintsauce I was probably around the same age when I told my mum she looked like a chilli pepper in a red dress she had on. Don't think she wore it again 😳.

Aw, that’s lovely OP. Who doesn’t want a small cuddly elephant thrown at them? 🤣🥰

This really made me smile, how absolutely lovely!

That is so sweet, I hope you treasure it forever OP!

I 😍that! What a sweetheart!

Awh....that's so sweet.

I think his delivery is even cuter for some reason!

This gesture is his version of an unprompted hug and it's fabulous.

How sweet!
