Boy, aspie's sure are literal. when my dd 6yo aspie was being tested by the school psych. She was asking my daughter questions about the bunny. Like where's the blue bunny. Well Jordan just kept telling her that they were "rabbits" and each time the psych would say bunny, Jordan would just say "RABBITS". -She is

what she is. Gave me a good laugh, I know the school psych had their hands full with her when they were evaluating her.From: jm.smoldt <jm.smoldt@...>Subject: ( ) Re: ANOTHER Tired of It Day Date: Sunday, November 14, 2010, 12:57 PM

With the correcting thing. We get that a lot. My 7 year old aspie is constantly correcting everyone's grammar. I have a four year old and babysit my four year old niece and three year old nephew and he constantly corrects their grammar and speech mistakes. I have tried to explain to them that they are younger and they will learn that stuff eventually but he just can't seem to stop correcting them. I just hope they are capable of ignoring him and don't become self-conscious or anything lol!

> It's just one of those days that I am so tired. Tired of feeling "picked apart" by my Aspie over ever tiny, small detail of the world. Tired of being asked a question incorrectly by my Aspie and then yelled at and berated when my answer doesn't match what she is thinking, but didn't communicate. Tired of my Aspie telling me that when I wrote a "birthday" on the calendar that it's not really her birthday that day, that her birthday is on Monday,it's her PARTY that is on that day, mom (i.e., mom are you so stupid that you wrote her "birthday" instead of her "party"?). Tired of my Aspie pulling out all of the stops on me today and doing every tiny, little irritating action she can against me in order to get me to react/respond/retaliate.
