Sence of Humor

I have to say that my middle son, has an incredible sence of witt. He is always making me laugh. There is a story that I can tell without embarrassing him TOO much, of last September.

My oldest son, Phil, had his 19th birthday party at our house where several lady friends attended as well as several male friends. We all started pplaying the game Apples2Apples and the teenage guys were practically throwing themselves at the cute girls. Somehow, Jimmy managed to sit next to two of the girls and one of the topics on the game we were playing was "adorable" So owe all picked a card out of our decks that owuld fit adorable, Well, Jimmy, put in a "make your own card" and so when the girl asked him what his card would say for adorable he looked at her and without batting an eye said, you. haha Needless to say, he won the round.
TO appreciate this story one must understand that children who have Asperger's Syndrome typically have difficulty teling or understanding jokes, they have poor social skills and are not sure what to say to people. So when he says something out of the blue like that it shows the true witt he has inside himself. He at times, will say things randomly that are so hilarious that we are dying of laughter and he is just sitting there asking "what's so funny?" I try to explain to him what it was that made us laugh about what he said, but he doesn't get it normally. As he has gotten older he is starting to recognize timing of comments and so his sense of humor is improving as well.
Asperger's is part of the Autism Spectrum. It is closely related to High functioning Autism. He has high intellect, it is the comprehension of things, and the social aspects that are so obvious with him.
I love his sense of humor and am pleased that it is improving. Now, let's work on the "policemans' mentality" more on that another itme.
