When 16 was in 1st grade he came home and asked, "Mommy? What's the most dangerous animal?" And I said, "Humans "
And that's all you really need to know about me.
Actually it became clear that I had married Booth from Bones.
Husband - "I don't think it's necessary to have this conversation at this age,"
Me- "If not now when? Do we correct later when it's more difficult to do so?"
It's so much FUN being an #Autistic mom in an #AutisticHousehold .
@Shelter At "this age?" He considers 16 to be too young? Good gods, what age does he think is appropriate???
No, in first grade.

I speak to every child as if they're a miniature adult and if they keep up, awesome, and if they don't I explain.
@Shelter I try to as well. I remember when my cousin, who is now 23, asked me when she was about 13 or 14 if the pain of losing someone got easier.
I said, "No. Not easier but it does get slightly less painful. The memories will, hopefully, be more happy than sad."
She's told me often that I'm the only family member who listens to her and speaks to her truthfully. Sadly, I think she's right. Most of the family covers up everything and defends the bullshit & bullshitters.
@Shelter I think I got the better part of the deal cause she's awesome. 😊 We have so much fun when we get together & she's been invaluable in helping me learn the ways of them young'uns. 😂
