For the longest time before Jayden was diagnosed with an official "I Dub The Sir Asperger's" title from the doc we would have good days & bad days. Sometimes a moment would come along & we would look at each other & say 'He's just fine!' but other times we would shoot each other a look & use our creepy husband wife telepathic communication to scream 'What The Hell Is Going On!' We still have those days but I understand it a little more & how to deal with it. On my facebook page, I'll start it on my twitter as well today, I've started posting 'Asperger's Moments'. I'm sure if you have a kid on the spectrum you know what I'm talking about. Last night we were went out to eat & after a long while the waitress came buy to check on us, making small talk with Jayden she asked him how old are you? A long awkward pause later he replied "Hey, Don't forget about my Macaroni & Cheese" When things like this happened, kind of funny but in need of letting him know what was the expected response, we used to say 'Epic Autism Fail!' but I like Asperger's Moment better. So, if you aren't a fan over on facebook or a follower on twitter, check it out!
