[QUOTE="fuddleduddledee, post: 143818, member: 4966"] Such a perfect analogy, aspies are like cats. I wish I had heard this explanation about 15 years ago, it would have saved so much of the sanity that I've lost over the years. Food issues were the bane of my existence for a very long time, until one day I decided food was going to become a "basket C" item. I remember back in the early years, in public school, when the teachers would send home notes, telephone me, pull me aside, to tell me that my son did not eat the lunch I had sent and could I please send something he likes. Something he likes? Hmm, Chicken nuggets and French Fries, he likes them, so are you Missy Teacher gonna drive to McDonalds and get him what he wants for lunch every day? That problem got easily solved when the Principal of the school decided that he would not be allowed at school at lunch any more because he caused far too many disruptions and they had no staff to watch him. Oh, I wish I'd known then what I know now but that's a whole different topic. Anyway, was a wonderful concept. My son would be the first to love this idea, comparing him to a cat. [/QUOTE]
