When my son was diagnosed with Asperger's my wife decided that I shared a lot of the characteristics and I was later diagnosed. It is tough on both of us, My son in school and sports and me with career choices. A lot of people don't understand our humor and don't realize how seriously we take things.

David's team had a game today and ended up winning 17-0 after 3 1/2 innings due to a mercy rule. David struck out once and walked once, the walk was with the bases loaded so statistically he is credited with an RBI he then later came around to score when his teammate hit a double. After the game the coach gave everyone two dollars to spend at the concession stand and David decided to use his on a bag of chips and a pop. A few of teammates were sitting at the picnic table with him and his little brothers Jack (3) and Max (0) were around. David was telling his friends "if I would pinch Jack that he would start screaming then Max would scream because Jack is screaming then they would break all the windows in the house with their squeals, well not really but metaphorically." Naturally his friends didn't know what he meant by that comment because they are not up to date on words like that yet so I explained what he meant. He is always saying things that are not quite age appropriate and doesn't understand why his friends don't understand him only adults do. I love the quips that he says, they make me laugh.
