Our Aspergers Teenage Boy

Tommy walked in the door happy and his grandfather came over within the hour to get him. He’ll come home tomorrow when the grandparents pick up Sarah and Noah.

Today was the best day ever. In science class I knew all the answers and teacher said “Did anybody other than Tommy do the assignment?” And then the teacher told me to let somebody else answer the questions, but I kept my hand up anyway. Mom adds that this was all said in one breath.

Tommy is surly this morning. Noah asks, “Does Tommy take a big fork or a little fork?” I reply, “Little” and Tommy barks “BIG!” He was obviously thinking we meant baby fork but the response was in appropriate. When I held the 2 forks up I asked “Which do you take?” He replies “little.”

Dad reports This Morning:
Tommy received medicine at 6:20.
