**** I've decided its not my place to disclose his name or age.... Confidenciality maybe? Yeah...ooops.
Preface: 98% of the world knows that I work with a little boy named **** who has autism, because he is the bulk of most of my conversations...with everyone. I might be a little obsessed. So for the 2% of you that didn't know this, now you do.
So **** is super into quoting things. He always has been. But over the last few months he is not only into quoting movies/commercials/his mother, but he has started to act them out. Good, healthy, imaginative play.
Example. You know on Toy Story when Buzz falls out the window and they string some monkeys out to help him? Yeah well, **** and I played out that whole scene with his complete set of Toy Story toys last week. You want another example? Ok. How To Train Your Dragon is a big deal right now... Usually he is the Night Fury and i'm Hiccup... sometimes I'm Astrid because he realizes that i'm a girl.
Anyway my favorite thing he has ever acted out is this:
Its really just the chocolate layer cake part at the end that he quotes...But its a pretty fun video anyway. Just good wholesome fun. So he grabs 10 of anything and goes to the top of the stairs and says "10 chocolate layer cakes" and falls down...and I laugh and I laugh and I laugh. Probably shouldnt encourage it. I should have put that all in past tense... because he won't do it anymore. Ok now here is the new Sesame Street scene:
So this is the first clip I could find... and it doesn't encompass the whole episode, but you get the point. Telly is trying to find the golden tringle of destiny. Just to fill you in... he tries to find a pentagon, and an octagon which happen to be golden and of destiny also. So any 3 objects *** finds become the golden triangle, pentagon, and octagon of destiny. Then we hide them and find them. Pretty repetative. So today I attempted to make them out of play dough to switch things up... it is a lot harder to make an octagon out of play dough then you might think.
Anyway I. Love. That. Boy. A **** year old boy with autism is my best friend.
