conversation between ds1 and ds2 (both autistic)

ds2 "hedgehog hedgehog hedgehog, speeeeed speeeeed, wee. you cheated. speeeeeeed. whoops splashdown."

ds1 "you're weird"

PMSL!!!!!!!

I don't know why it tickled me so much, probably because ds1 had spent the previous 10 minutes chanting "don't try this at home"

actually i find that rather amusing too

stillenacht · 31/01/2009 20:44

bless them - i have similar conversations with my DS2

Deeeja · 31/01/2009 20:54

That is funny!

Widemouthfrog · 31/01/2009 22:05

I've had a crap day so thanks for the laugh

I had to laugh about my two boys a few weeks ago. They were both having their hair cut. DS1 (ASD) goes into meltdown about this, watched by DS2 (NT). When it was DS2's turn, he was crying, but nothing like DS1's response. DS1 said 'Why is he crying, it doesn't hurt'

sadly, tallulah, today has been screeching and yelling, rather than amusing

BriocheDoree · 01/02/2009 19:13

Mmm. Do you ever have those moments when they are going off into meltdown and you are just trying not to laugh...

Buckets · 01/02/2009 19:38

Actually managed to laugh DS out of a strop the other week after he told me he was going to 'get the scissors and cut off your arms and legs and turn you into mummy nuggets.' I just roared with laughter and he couldn't help joining in.

squatchette · 01/02/2009 19:41

Have they been playing Sonic the hedgehog by any chance?

HecateQueenOfGhosts · 02/02/2009 08:05

yup Squatchette. Sonic Unleashed.

I do, Brioche. Actually, I don't try to hide it. . I have even been known to wibble their lips to turn their screams into amusing noises.

mummy nuggets. haha

Buckets · 02/02/2009 09:44

Aha, yes the Sonic cartoon has been on in our house. DS basically talks in quotes from cartoons (hence threats of comedy Tom&Jerry violence when angry) so that makes sense.

TallulahToo · 02/02/2009 14:21

lol at all you "mummy nuggets"!

I've been one of those mums who tries to 'out do' their tantrums by joining in. My DS can't stand anything or anyone not doing what is usually expected of them, (of course), so any out of the ordinary mummy tantrums stops him in his tracks.

But I will now be 'wibbling lips' like the rest of you! Cheers for the tip!

TallulahToo · 02/02/2009 14:24

Oh, and here's one from my ASD DS, aged 4 at the time...

For MONTHS he spent hours stood by the window, I'd ask what he was looking at and he'd reply, "I'm looking at Cyril".

This was not the name of any of our neighbours and I would explain this and go through the names of all neighbours up and down the street.

But NO, he insisted that he was spending all this time "looking at Cyril"...

Finally, after months of patient understanding and exlaining to no avail, the truth came.....

can you guess what it was?....

Buckets · 02/02/2009 14:25

Oh this morning he said he was going to put me in the oven and turn me into toast!

troutpout · 02/02/2009 14:42

these are lovely
Was it the window sill tallulah?

TallulahToo · 02/02/2009 14:45

Troutpout.... Window Cyril to be precise....

Why couldn't I have put this as a question on MN at the time? Would have saved months of a battle.

Buckets · 02/02/2009 14:48

Ah see I was going to guess squirrel!

TotalChaos · 02/02/2009 15:35

"It's Xmas!"

No.

"Is it Xmas"? No, it's snowing because it's winter, not because it's Xmas.

"Can I put the decorations up?"

TallulahToo · 02/02/2009 16:04

lol at the enthusiasm TC! Time for turkey again!

BriocheDoree · 02/02/2009 18:10

I LOVE the mummy nuggets one!

mum24boyz · 02/02/2009 18:19

lol at that, it made me giggle but i can so imagine my 2 having same kind of convo. hecate, my hubby does that with ds4 when he is whingeing(much of the time lol) he so doesnt like being made to make silly noises when he wants to be in a bad mood. ok i have 1 for you, ds3 age 7, speech and language disorder, sat in assembly saying lords prayer and blurted out, but my dad isnt in heaven(our father who art in heaven) TA had to struggle to stop herself giggling apparently.
