Happy Turkey Weekend!!

As you have mostly likely already figured out, I'm just rambling about daily happenings in our house and with our son Mason. He's such a funny kid with a great and very quick sense of humor. He's also a fantastic actor and it really is hard to tell when he's just messing around. I've read articles that have stated Aspies tend to become great actors from a lifetime of trying to act normal around other kids and adults. For example, they will turn their clumsiness in to a comedy scene etc. I see that happening with Mason. It's amazing on how different he can be in public as compared to the 'real' emotionally challenged kid we see at home when he lets his guard down.

I also find it amazing on how fast his brain works and how random his thoughts are. We were driving down the highway the other day and he rattled off 25 questions (I counted them) in 2 minutes. He asks questions so fast that it's hard to provide an answer because by the time I open my mouth, he's already on to the next question on a completely different subject. From a clinical standpoint, this is truly amazing to me and I love experiencing this. From a parent standpoint, (I won't sugar-coat it) it basically sucks. For example, his questions can be so fast and random that the only answer we can provide is "I don't know". For example, "dad, why is that guy wearing a blue shirt and he's driving a red truck?", "Dad, how come birds feathers are soft?", "Why do you have to wear a swimsuit when you're on a jetski?", "how long do you think our bird will live?", "can we have a cat?", "what is heaven like?", "how come ants live the ground?", "Can you teach me how to play Hotel California on guitar?"...................
These are just a few of the 25 questions that he rattled off. This happens throughout the day. Not constantly but it happens. I wish I could harness that energy and random intelligent thoughts and put it to better use but I haven't figured that out yet.

Have a great day!
