Hi everyone,

In relation with the subjects discussed lately i have 2 good jokes for you ........ The second one is a little .....well you'll see....>>>JOKE NO 1,

IT'S NOT MINE"""""> Most of you have read the scare mail about> the person whose kidneys were stolen while> he was passed out. While that was an "urban> legend," this is not. It's happening everywhere,> every day. Please share this warning with> your friends. It's happened to me and it's> happened to my friends...> and you too may already be a victim!>> My thighs were stolen from me during the> night of August 3rd a few years ago. It> was that quick. I went to sleep in my body> and woke up with someone else's thighs. The> new ones had the texture of cooked oatmeal.> Who would have done such a cruel thing to legs> that had been truly, if not imperfectly, mine?> Whose thighs were these? What happened to mine?>> I spent the entire summer searching for them. I> looked, in vain, at pools and beaches, anywhere> that I might find female limbs exposed. I became> obsessed. I had nightmares filled with cellulite> and flesh that turns to bumps in the night.> Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned myself to> living out my life in jeans and Sheer Energy> pantyhose.>> Then, just when my guard was down, the thieves> struck again.

Hi My 11 yr old zd will look at someone thinking he is joking and tell them they

are fat dumb then says he's just kidding. He even once told a woman that if she

made better choices when eating you wouldnt be so fat. He always sas he is

joking but usually the people really are overweight another words he is

brutally honest with people although to him hes joking (hope this makes sense,

not really sure how to word it)

My 9 year old gets lunch detention today for whispering..."I wish I had a teacher who didn't act like an idiot" he has AS and is very honest and forgets to not think out loud! : )On Jan 20, 2011, at 8:58 PM, "" <amandabeneteau@...> wrote:

The good part of this is that he is trying to relate. Small comfort, I know! My ds went through this and at times, he still tells a joke that isn't a joke but a fact. They have a lot of trouble understanding the difference but seems like they really want to joke around like the others. Since they can't come up with a joke, they state a fact (you're fat, you're bald, whatever) as if it were a joke. And then they don't get what's not funny. It's a skill that will take a long time to work on. My older ds did not start with this until he was in 10th grade. He had a sped teacher who was really sarcastic and funny and he started trying to emulate him. It was actually a good experience and taught him a lot about how this stuff works. But my point is, it doesn't always come naturally to some of our kids!

I can only suggest that you get him into social skill group or to someone who can work with him on these skills. With my ds, we focused on so many areas - he had "theory of mind" work so he would learn to predict, learn to try and think about what other people are thinking about, learn social skills so he'd know what was appropriate and when (a work in progress, that!). He sees a ST once a week still and they work on these things as well. I also told my ds when he said something to someone like that. I'd say, "People do not think it's funny when you tell them they are fat." Eventually he caught on. But he still laughs and tells me I am old. lol. That might be something NT kids do too. But geez, not funny either. lol

Here are a few books that might help -->

There are probably tons more books out there since we have had to deal with this. Another thing that might help is to get a joke book so he can start learning some jokes. This may backfire if he starts obsessing on them. But at least he might say a real joke next time instead of a personal insult? My younger ds spent a lot of time with joke books for a while there and liked to practice telling them.

My son went through a phase of trying to tell jokes that just fell flat. Usually

he make some comment that made him sound like he didn't understand something

when in reality he was trying to make a joke or sound sarcastic. It just made

him sound like he was totally confused. To make matters worse it hadn't been

that long since he had made similar type comments when he was confused. So the

whole situation was confusing to everyone because we'd keep thinking that he was

confused when he was trying to make a joke. So in desperation, I bought him some

age appropriate joke books. It helped a bit because he would memorize one and

tell it. His telling technique wasn't the best but at least we knew it was a

joke. He still has problem with determining when someone is being sarcastic. He

usually ask " sarcasm? "

Roxanna , thanks for listing those books! I am gonna look into them to see if that will help my son! He is only 5 but he already LOOOOVES telling jokes.... bad they are really never jokes , they are like what you described , he is more so stating facts....but he tries soooo hard to be funny.. but a lot of them are inappropriate jokes , like telling someone knock knock .... and then saying they have a stinky butt! Or sometimes he will be trying to be super serious and not mean to be telling a joke , but my family members will think its funny and they will laugh! Like CHristmas morning we get to my parents , and everyone is downstairs talking ( over 25 people in the room , i have a big family) ANd all the sudden my son runs down there , tells everyone to stop talking because " he has some really bad

news "..... and with such a serious look on his face tells everyone " i have fricken aliens in my room" NOw first and for most i have been getting on his father because he has a potty mouth! And so he has been saying fricken alot! Well that has backfired too because infront of my whole family he made that comment about the " fricken aliens" i was pretty embarrassed! Because i dont let him use naughty words EVER! And mostly everyone when he said it did the " pull your shirt over your face move" so that he couldnt see that they thought him saying that word was funny , but my sister and her husband are always making fun of my sons and my nephew for the quirky things they do , they tell my other son who is autistic that he runs like a fairy! It makes me so mad when they say things like that , because he cant help it , and who the heck would call a 2 year old a fairy , its just so rude and HURTFUL!!! But

anyway, right after he said that joke on christmas , his face was stone cold serious , and when everyone started laughing he got really confused and excited at the same time because he didnt realize that would be funny! I am sure all kids do this a lot , but i figure its probably just a good idea to work on whats funny and whats not , before he gets out of hand with his joke telling , i would hate for him to hurt someones feelings! Because i can already tell right now , that his jokes are starting to become more not funny and more hurtful to other people!! MeaghanFrom:

geez, I agree! Anyone who calls an autistic kid a "fairy" because he runs "funny" is just mean. My ds's have an odd gait when they run as well so that's a sore spot. I know it's noticeable. Sometimes people can be mean in our own families.

And yes! Start young. If you go to this website -->http://www.socialthinking.com , she has really good stuff for social skills.

I'm sorry, I had to laugh too at your description of your son saying "I have fricken aliens in my room". I can just picture it. Sounds like something my son has done and still does at times. LOL! He too says "fricken" all the time. Ugh!

He often says mean things and says "I'm just joking". I keep telling him that people don't think it's funny like he does. He got suspended twice last year for saying things he thinks are "joking". Once was for telling a boy "if you sit in that chair it's going to break" and another time for saying "earthquake!" when a heavy set girl walked past time in class. Other kids did laugh, so he thought he did something funny. But we have to get him to understand that you can't make jokes at the expense of others. This is so difficult to do.

The book Roxanna suggested "Thinking About You Thinking About Me" we got for him over the summer and had him read. It has helped alot I have to say. We're still working on it though.

Oh Dear God........that's funny. Glad that "dad" could take it well, too. he he.

Over the years, I've looked back and think I've found the time when I "saw" that Ian didn't catch on to what was said like others. Ya know what I mean? I mean, all these sayings we're throwing out here are soooo funny, but I remember thinking, "What in the world???".

He was saying kind of naughty/snotty replies....I think he was 6 or so? Anyway, I said, "Who do you think you are, talking to me like that?"

And he looked really said, like he would cry and said, "I'm Ian.". He took it so darned literally......broke my heart.

Exactly!!!!! Both amazing examples.

I truly believe these kinds of things/phrases should be covered in a class for all sped teachers.

They need to hear the funny, the sad and the awkward and confusing. Not just the "clinical" crap.

My son is 14 and has really come around with a lot of this stuff, but there are still somethings he says that just aren't right. Like, if he gets in trouble for something he'll say "You just got me in trouble!" and I'll say "No, you just got yourself in trouble. I didn't get you in trouble." But, he just sees that I'm the one that "got him in trouble" because I caught him doing the wrong thing and gave him the consequence. It's hard for him to make the distinction sometimes. It's a clear reminder for me, though, to still break things down for him and not assume he understands the social context of something.

And then, like,

the Earth explodes and it's, like, a serious bummer!

Hi My 11 yr old zd will look at someone thinking he is joking and tell them they are fat dumb then says he's just kidding. He even once told a woman that if she made better choices when eating you wouldnt be so fat. He always sas he is joking but usually the people really are overweight another words he is brutally honest with people although to him hes joking (hope this makes sense, not really sure how to word it)
