I don't give a rats A$$ what people label him. He's a fantastic kid whether he's autistic, ASD, living with autism, etc. He's still the same kid and I'm not a politically correct type. <br /><br />Forgot to mention - tell your wife her guest post was fantastic.SVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913242818012178057.post-91872088300006431112010-04-22T21:37:06.540-07:002010-04-22T21:37:06.540-07:00Yikes!

We haven't tried to teach Noah this info yet, but I can't imagine what kind of debacle we'll get into once we do.<br /><br />Also, I'd like to apologize to everyone for my phrasing of "autistic child" instead of the more preferred "ASD child." You don't even want to know what I refer to him as under my breath in the sanctity of my own home. I love him though!!Chase Roperhttp://www.chaseroper.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913242818012178057.post-66043898027557612672010-04-22T20:42:14.706-07:002010-04-22T20:42:14.706-07:00I haven't had the swearing from my son yet, bu...I haven't had the swearing from my son yet, but this is pretty scary: When my ASD son was 5 we were working on getting him to memorize his address and phone number. One day at lunch in a rather sketchy diner, a rather sketchy man asked my son's therapist what her name was. She ignored him but my son didn't bat and eye and quickly yelled out his name, address and phone number. Needless to say, I made sure the doors were locked tight from then on and we quickly started a therapy goal of when to give out personal information and when not to. <br /><br />My son also always makes comments to people's faces about them being old, fat, short, etc. I always have to pick my jaw up off the floor when these things come out of his mouth, apologize and then find the nearest exit.<br /><br />Great posts this month! Your perspective on parenting a child with autism is both entertaining and informative. Thanks!SVnoreply@blogger.com
