[QUOTE="keista, post: 436292, member: 11965"] This is a HUGE problem with many young difficult children regardless of what their diagnosis is. The "normal" kids learn at a very young age when and where certain language is appropriate. They will use it amongst themselves, but NEVER within earshot of adults. difficult children, for various reasons, don't 'get that'. LOL This is at least the second time I had to do a double take on one of your posts. Seems you enjoy sarcasm very much - me too! Just an FYI to try not to use sarcasm with J. Most 4 y/o kids don't have a clue about sarcasm, and tend to take such remarks seriously. At around 8 is when some kids start learning it. My 8 y/o only picks up on it half the time when I really make it obvious. Son was 12 when he finally started to pick up on it and understand the whole concept. He can identify it most of the time, but at 15 he still does a really lousy job at being sarcastic himself. [/QUOTE]
