Here’s a joke. the mother of an autistic boy thought this was hysterical and shared it with others whom she knew would enjoy the laugh.
Her son eats non-stop. She used to lock the fridge but it didn’t work. He especially loves deli but, for some reason, hates bologna. The mom bought 3 pounds of bologna for her other kids knowing that her son wouldnt touch it.
One morning she woke up and found that her son had gone to the fridge and had apparently been unhappy about finding the deli package to contain bologna. How did she know? He slapped every last piece against the wall, where they stuck firmly, like a second layer of wallpaper. She thought it was a funny site, and a funny story and so did we. And I don’t think anyone but an autistic child would have thought of it. But that doesn’t mean I think autism is funny. I just think we sometimes need to laugh at our situations.
