Curses!

There is just something so funny about hearing your son with autism say "Dammit, f***it" in the right context. Functional language, that's what we're shooting for!  He has heard the words "dammit" and "f***" out of our mouths on occasion, I won't deny it. But this particular phrase he came up with all on his own.  And he says it so passionately!

My parents tell this funny story about me as a child all the time. My dad used to use the phrase "son of a bitch" all the time, usually with a wild hand gesture slapping the tabletop.

So apparently we're at dinner, I'm like 4 or 5 years old, and my dad says "Son of a ... ", sees me, and says "gun!"

To which I shouted "NO! 'Bitch' daddy! Son of a BITCH!" with the slap on the table and everything, because I felt I needed to make sure he had his violent hand-gestures and his profanity all done properly, it would seem. :-)
