Our Aspergers Teenage Boy

Dad reports:
Tommy mowed the lawn and then asked “Can I have my $5?” so we inspected it together and as I pointed out areas that needed improvement instead of saying “ok, I’ll fix that” Tommy’s response was “Ok. How about $3.50?” then “$3.25?” and so on until he got to “$2.75″ and I was saying the job was probably worth half at “$2.50.” We had a discussion that the money was not the issue but the job that was expected was not done.

Dad reports this morning:
Tommy got up and since Mom and I were sleeping in he brought his medicine down to us (good boy!) and has been enjoying a morning of relaxing in front of the television.

He is still coughing but I think the Claritin is starting to kick in for him.
