Between our two kids we've got apraxia of speech, sensory issues and attention deficit disorder with a side of anxiety, compulsive behaviors and, depending on the week, tics. Things may be complicated in our house but, hey, at least they're unpredictable.

Dirty Joke

We’ve just left Max’s speech therapy session with Miss D and are heading to the car. Max is in possession of a squishy, purple robot, retrieved from Miss D’s treasure chest for a good day’s work. Max is throwing it against walls, against my dirty car, and dropping it on the ground. Then he puts it in his mouth.

Me: Max! That’s dirty! It’s been on the car and on the ground. There is nothing dirtier you could have put in your mouth.

(Wait for it.)

Max: There’s mud.

Max, Ari and I laughed for a good mile or two. You know, it’s joyous moments like these when I realize we don’t have nearly enough of them.

Great story. The more I read about ASD kids the more I realize how great they are. How unique their perspectives are.
