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.

This weekend we had some fun with a little aspie humor. We did a lot of geocaching (www.geocaching.com for more information). David (9- aspie) kept telling Jack (3) that not all of them have treasures and told me and mom that he can't believe how stupid Jack is, naturally i agree with David and say "I know" whereas mom has to tell both of us to be nice that he is only three. While out cacheing we got a little hungry and went to Burger King, David, along with his asperger's, is extremely allergic to milk and eggs that's why we go to BK instead of McDonald's because he's allowed to have the bun. I order David a stacker with no cheese and only ketchup and when we got it it had cheese on it so David is like, "i don't get it, don't they know this can kill me." I told him that not everyone knows about allergies because they are dumb, he says yeah, but weren't we just here a couple days ago, and that same guy took our order. I told him that it will be okay and that i will go in and have them correct it, before i went in my wife told me to be nice. Needless to say I went in alone to make the quick fix and apparently I wasn't nice after my wife asked "How did you go about telling them about his allergies" when I told her my answer she told me that I went about it the wrong way. After cacheing and everything we went to grandma and grandpa's house to go swimming in the pond, and Jack had to put on his swimming suit, again David says "Jack is so dumb, he doesn't even know how to swim" and I told David "You didn't know how to swim until you were nine" so he quickly corrected me and said "I am nine now, and started swimming last year when I was eight." So in other words David thinks that everyone should be able to do what he does and doesn't understand the age difference unless they are newborns and infants.
