People think that I say this to put on a brave face, but I'm glad that my son is the way he is. I would never want him to be 'normal.' I would miss scenarios like this:
Son walks into the office.
Son: Mom. Can I have graham crackers, please?
Me: Yes, and great job asking!
Son: Said Mom. "I love having 2 graham crackers!" said Son.
He walks away shouting over his shoulder, "I look so good!"
He's frickin' awesome.

It's dinnertime. WeeMan came bouncing into the office. (Fair warning: we don't do family dinner time here, we just eat when we're hungry)
Son: What can I have?
Me: Uh, are you hungry? Do you want dinner?
Son: NO! I want food.
Me: What kind of food do you want?
Son: I dunno. Let's find out.
Me: I'm not following you around the kitchen for 3 hours just to make you chicken nuggets. Do you want chicken nuggets?
Son: Yes! I would like chicken nuggets.
Me: What are you going to dip your chicken nuggets in?
Son: R-A-N-C-H
Me: Hey! Good spelling!
Son: "Son" needs ranch dressing, because he doesn't know how to eat chicken nuggets.
Served the food. He stomped in a minute later, all indignant.
Son: Why did you put too much ranch?
Me: Just eat what you want, you don't have to eat it all.
Son: C'mon, let's start over.
Me: Yer high, kid.

Son is putting toys away as instructed. Hubby notices him doing the pee pee dance on the way to the toy bin.
Hubs: Do you need to go pee?
Son: Uhhhhh, no. I don't need to pee.
Hubs: You clearly have to pee. Go pee.
Son: In five more minutes...
Hubs: Go pee now!
Son: Well, I will go pee in three days.
Hubs: In three days, it will be Tuesday. Are you going to hold your pee until Tuesday?
Son: Yeah. I will pee on Tuesday.

A lot of my son's speech is made up of phrases that he's heard somewhere and repeats like crazy (echolalia, I think it's called?). It inhibits conversation and is the main reason that we kept him back from school for a year. Sometimes it's very aggravating, like when I need that back-and-forth. Other times, it's funny as shit. Recently, he's discovered an old web comic that B and I used to watch 10 years ago or so. This has been the source of some of his recent funny outbursts like, "I look so good!" and "I look burnt or dead." Today, I was entertained at the grocery store by random bursts of: "Who put the 'ween' in Halloween? Probably you, ya frickin weirdo." and "Try Strong Bad's Ab-Abber 2000. The ladies will be all up ons."  |

I heard him singing this morning:
I'm laughing so hard. Great math, kid!

He makes me think of the youngest child on the show "The middle" ...different . But brilliant and hilarious with epic comic timing. His peers don't get him and he baffles his family sometimes but he will grow up to do amaze ball things. awesomeness.

I love it! I wonder if "negative two" has an associated image in that complex brain of his. Wouldn't it be great if we could peek in there?

I've never seen The Middle, but I've heard a lot about it. I'll have to check it out someday.
I'm not sure if it was the solution or the problem that was fueling that. He loves math, and with usually incorporates it into whatever he's doing.
