a story of when someone tried to tell an "autism joke"
I hope no one is offended by this, but it really happened.
my mom went to work and a co-worker was waiting for her, who said, oh, I have an autism joke for you. so my mom says O-kaaay.
lady: how many autistic kids does it take to change a light bulb?
mom: i don't know, how many?
lady: (points to the ceiling and then looks at my mom) hey lets go ride bikes!
mom: (looks at lady for about 10 seconds) that's not autism, thats ADHD.
lady: well, I told it how I heard it.
mom: I'll tell YOU an autism joke.
mom: how many autistic kids does it take to change a light bulb?
lady: (dumbstruck, stares at my mom)
mom: (mimes removing a light bulb and putting it in a table, then lays her head on the table, squints one eye and begins to move her fingers as if she is spinning the light bulb) Oooooh, it spins!!!
I swear I almost peed my pants I laughed so hard, because that is exactly what my son would do. :)
