[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 381096, member: 1991"] Yes, MWM. Exactly. These kids don't get sarcasm or gentle teasing very well and we need to signal it really, really obviously. It also goes the other way when they are older - husband has had to learn that when he tells a joke or make a smart remark in passing he has to smile. Because his Aspie face tends to be fairly expressionless, people have taken him seriously when he meant things to be a joke. The thing is, we need to do this with our kids in order for them to learn to cope. But we do it only as much as they can handle. We build it up as fast as we can, but still not too much.
