    My youngest son made me smile today...

    He was handed a form to fill in at school and one of the questions was "what sort of friends do you have?

    He answered "Geeks and nerds".

    Mind you, he refused to answer the question on what he does outside of school, telling them to mind their own business as they tell them not to bring their homelife into school!

    Ah, the autistic brain.....


    my little girl had a similar form and on a question asking what she dislikes about school she answered "coming" :rotfl:
  • Several years ago, my goth friends' little son of 7 was asked at school "What do you want to be when you grow up?" and he replied "Marilyn Manson".

    Still makes me chuckle!

    Reminds me of when my daughter had done a school project on Sir Francis Drake and they had to fill in a form about it, completing the sentences. One of them said:

    "If I had to do this project again I would........................."

    She'd written "not".:D

    a few things...

    dd aged 5 was filling in the school end of year questionaire
    the question was..what i would change about school..she wrote that it should open on a saturday:rotfl:

    DS aged 3 who has fragile x syndrome is very attached to a lego cuddly toy he has had since he was a baby and its starting to drop to bits. hubby phoned lego yesterday only to find out that only place he can get that particular one from is the lego land shop in windsor..we are in nottinghamshire.

    anyway after an hour spent on phone talking to several people they agreed to post one to us and let us pay over the phone, charged us no postage and it arrived today to a very happy child:j
    Have a Bsc Hons open degree from the Open University 2015 :j:D:eek::T

    The granddaughter from my post#30 had to go back to the opticians yesterday to have drops put in to 'relax' her eyes for the optician to determine how bad her squint was. first eye she was ok but had to be bribed to allow the second - and while waiting for them to work - promptly fell asleep! The optician was hysterical laughing, claimed it was the first time anyone had fallen asleep on him! Then went round telling all the staff and saying 'She is SOOOOO adorable!'
    She can't wait to get her 'Hello Kitty' spectacles - but son wonders just how long they will remain intact.
