I posted a story about my difficult child last week when he thought he got his period. As I am learning this site, maybe this is a better place for this kind of thing but really, I dont have a lot of people to share this kind of thing with soooooo....thanks
OK, when difficult child asked me if he could ask a question---and I couldn't get mad...I thought oh my...this does not sound good....but, I agreed.
(I could see his eyes were not making good contact, but that happens-Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid and all, it is where he was looking that was strange)
difficult child: Ummm, can a girl sleep on her stomach?
Me: Huh?
difficult child: I mean, boys don't have to deal with those. (pointing to my boobs)
Me: yes, they can. It just depends on the person and if they feel comfortable.
difficult child: Well, do they just grow and grow forever?
(I'm sure he is referring to how gravity has taken over)
Me: Sigh. (I did answer but, really hard not to laugh while I did it.)
A few months ago he asked if all boys have to like boobs. He said he heard they do on TV! And I LOCK all inappropriate channels. (may have not been said that way, may just have been kids looking and making silly faces or not even tv. YOu never know with him) He said the name of a Nickelodian show. He doesn't really get it yet but he is obviously noticing...Oh puberty from an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) perspective.
