There is such a need for teachers who go the extra step for kids. I have been blessed because my youngest son's teacher has done that for him.

I can remember telling one of my friends that a pair of checkered pants she loved made her butt look like a "picnic table". Although I could see the correlation easily, she was not amused. <br /><br />Since then I've learned that for the most part, non-autistic people want to hear what they want to hear. You can tell because they ask the same question repeatedly in different ways. A friend tries on a dress. It's gaudy and makes her butt look way too big. It's not a flattering style for her figure.<br />"So, do you like the dress?" <br />* "I think the other dress was much nicer."<br />"Yeah, but I mean, this one looks really nice on me, doesn't it? It shows off my hips"<br />* "I really liked the colors in the other dress" (still trying to remain tactful when I want to say "You definitely CAN'T miss your hips in that dress")<br />"I know but doesn't the blue in THIS dress bring out my eyes?"<br />* Yes. It does do that. (Now I've realized that all the person wants to hear is that the dress is amazing and it is perfect blah blah blah)<br /><br />That is why conversation is so difficult. An aspie would say "Tell me that I look great in this dress. I love it and I'm buying it." Then there is no confusion. We wouldn't ask for an opinion unless we really wanted to know what you thought of the dress. One day I'll get it all figured out. ;)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782640484119475777.post-45241842184626379292014-06-22T19:16:01.807-07:002014-06-22T19:16:01.807-07:00I am just amazed.

It's the same with "normal" or "alltistic" people. It is about respecting our differences and boundaries regardless of whether or not we have a disability. We're all different. <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782640484119475777.post-61271621002654799132014-06-22T19:02:20.942-07:002014-06-22T19:02:20.942-07:00Thanks Tiffany :) I hope you like my blog.
