Just wanted to share with you.....
Me and hubby went out for dinner last night...when we got home my oldest son hadn't bathed yet!
He was waiting for us.....Any way, by the time he went to bath at 21h00 he was standing infront of the bath with his swimming cap on, his diving glasses and sunglasses over it, plus a snorkel! Pressious!! !!
Dont know if this is something a NT child would do....dont have that reference, but we had a lovely giggle and much pleasure of enjoying him!

You should teach your Aspie child the difference between swimming and bathing.

That is precious! Glad that even though it was late and you were probably tired that you could find the humor in it!

I just love the way their minds work sometimes. I was attending a meditation retreat yesterday and as I was leaving DS says to me, "I hope your sensei teaches you some good ninja moves!"

Sorry...I dont want to sound rude.....but I think you miss the point here! He knows the difference between bathing ans swimming! He finds it relaxing!

LOL! Let me guess- he was told "you wear these when you go in the water"

He is 9 yrs old!
I think he really just enjoys "practicing" with his new swimming stuff we got for summer!
He misses the water so much after this long cold winter!

We're going to a fun day next weekend and we have to dress up as something related to the seaside. My daughter has decided that she's going to be a scuba diver, so we bought her a snorkel, which she'll be able to use for real. Since she's had this gear, every bath time has been a diving expedition. It's hilarious, makes bathtimes fun and she gets washed too.

That would make a good picture to show him when he is older
