Found the perfect way to get people out of my house

[Iwasonline]

DS1 had a small, at home birthday party yesterday. The party was almost done and guests were about to have birthday cake.

DS1, just turned five, ran into the room and in a loud and clear voice announces.... "everybody, once you've eaten your cake the party has finished and you have to go."

Amused and mortified. Aibu to actually be kinda proud at his clear boundaries? made me laugh. disclaimer. We are at the very early stages of autism diagnosis

@EishetChayil

I don't find rude children amusing, personally.

Where IS that child when you need him?

I'll Chanel one of the TODDLERS...

Byeeeeeee

I teach my son - who has autism - about the socially acceptable way to behave - but i often find it hard to explain the logic.

Ever since he heard about God he is a committed atheist. He goes to a catholic school as we are in Ireland and all the nearby schools are religious. When the teacher is teaching religion he used to point out that he thought it was all made up and the school shouldn’t be forcing beliefs on people!

He has learnt now to keep quiet - and think whatever he likes in his head. He knows the teacher doesn’t expect him to agree with it and doesn’t mind if he is an atheist.

He asks why should he stay quiet about his beliefs so as not to upset other people - while those same people are teaching him their beliefs

It's difficult to fault his logic!

I have several family members & friends that have autism - it's makes for refreshingly honest conversation, you just have to get over yourself!

Bless him 🤣

@FindingMeno

I know someone ( an adult) who just says " OK time to go. You're boring me now"

If that's a tall, shaggy haired Scotsman, we know the same bloke!

My ex thinks he's terribly funny like that. He's English, fairly tall and unkempt looking . Unfortunately I think there's a fair few like that.

@Restart10

It's rude because they were about to have cake, not that they stayed 30 minutes after cake. It probably made people feel awkward. It wasn't funny or cute.

I imagine most kids with ASD don't give a shiny shit if you think they're cute or funny.
