honesty

Ethan has a hard time lying, if he starts laughing and says i dont know why i laugh uncontrolable, that means he is lying. Jeff decided to go see a movie with Ethan ,they stop at the dollar store to get candy and soda. While buying the tickets jeff hides the candy and soda in Ethans jacket, and zips it up. Then Jeff hears Ethan talking very loudly to him self " Something does not seem quite right about this situation, this is really strange hiding stuff in my jacket" THen while Jeff is talking to the ticket person Ethan again loudly to Jeff "Dad this does not feel right, I dont think
I should hide candy in my coat." This happen right after he was baptized maybe he was trying to be good.
On the other hand Cambria has no problem lying in fact she comes up with great stories without any problems. One example was ,we were getting a manicure, and then someone called and I relized i was suppose to be somewhere now I couldnt leave for 45 minutes so I tell cambria we cant wait for your nails to dry we have to leave here fast. She then says mom dont tell them we were getting manicures just lie and say we had to go to aunt kimmies house because she really needed our help. Again not sure if kids can be quite, she said this so loud all the other ladies in the salon started to laugh

In the morning before school Jeff starts the car for it to warm up then goes back into the house. When he comes out he asked the kids who turned the car off. Ethan says dad I did you are polluting the ozone layer, and how many times do I have to tell you Im going Green.

Stop reading!!!!!

One of our biggest struggles with Ethan is to get him to play at recess time, Ive bribed him and that works for a little bit, Ive talked with his teacher to assign him a friend, that doesnt seem to work. And now Im threatening him
Me -Ethan If you dont play with anyone today Im going to just have you come home from school at lunch
Ethan- but mom math is after lunch and i love math
me- Ethan if you dont play with someone, i wont let you stay at school for math!!!
Another time at a play ground Ethan was reading a book instead of playing and i yelled for all the moms around me to hear "Ethan stop reading and go play"
I know a little backwards, but thats what you get with ethan, and if thats the worst then im ok with it. We keep working on it last night i role played with him how to go up to a friend and and talk and play with them. He is pretty good with the role play we just need to get better with the follow through.

Literally

With Aspergers you take things literally ,there has been a few times Ethan has taken things literally and they make me laugh

one time Ethan was telling me something really cool and i say "shutup!"
Ethan stops talking and says mom why did you tell me to shut up, I to him I thought what he was saying was really cool.

Another time we were at the beach and Ethan started shaking the sand off his towel and it was right by everyone. My mom says Ethan take your towel down to the water away from us.
Ethan takes the towel and gets it soaked in the water, as we yell Ethan stop no.... He comes back up to us and we say Ethan why would you put the towel in the water
Ethan says grandma told me to take it to the water.

This story is my fAVORITE example.......

then had to explain Im in the car with the kids and they start playing the game raise your hand if...This is how it goes

Cambria: Raise your hand if you think dads funny

Ethan: Raise your hand if you think Siennas a chubbers

This goes back and forth a few more times then

Ethan:Raise your hand if you think mom has a hot body

Now Im thinking ok cool my son thinks i have a good body

Tyler: Ethan I have a hot body, really?

Ethan: ya mom Your bodies super hot. Thats why i come in your room at night and cuddle with you, you keep me so warm because you bodies so hot.

Oh man, is that what he means, I was feeling all good about myself.
