Oy Vey

I was talking to Mom last week and she told me that all Aspie children have something they excell at. (She works in the public schools as an aide to autistic children.) She asked me what Zander excelled in. I had to stop and think. I finally told her computers and electronic things.....and he takes EVERYTHING apart - sometimes he puts it back together. Anyway - we have to carefully watch how much electronic interaction he has - or he doesn't interact with the humans in his life.

Today I sat down at the computer and the whole desktop was changed. WHAT? A couple of days ago Arielle had figured out the cursor thing and begun changing cursors....but.....I said, "OK - Arielle did you change the background on here?" She insisted she hadn't. Zander walked in and said, "Oh, I did that." I didn't believe him.

He proceeded to say "Watch" and showed me "you go to control panel (how does he KNOW that?), you click this and this and this" BINGO he changed the desktop background. This terrifies me. This also tells me that my answer we right, Mom. Zander loves computers.

LOL. My alphabet child did the same thing to me around that age.

That's cute VBG. When he is older you can use that interest with homeschooling.

LOL! Way to go Zander. Gabe used to switch things around all the time on my computer, but he couldn't always put it back. Sometimes it would take me days to fix things!

Jon still does this. Drives me crazy!LOL

Be thankful that he hasn't chosen Theoretical Physics.lolol

Evie's gift seems to be driving her big brother crazy. They are like magnets with the same polarity. If they are both facing the same direction, they are fine but if they are facing each other then there's war.lolol

Sis: LOVE IT! I need a grandchild who can teach me things about computers...... :):) He is quite the guy. G'Pa often talks about him and the "wise guy" business.
