About 5 years ago I started to write down the innocent things students would say in my class. There are the questions or comments that my students with Autism and ID didn't have a filter or think about before they said it. Here are a few of my favorites.
- In the middle of math class Lisa blurted this out in a completely innocent tone.
- Lisa: What does the word F^#k mean?
- Me: I am not answering that.
- Lisa: I know it's a bad word but I just want to know what it means.
- Me: Not answering it.
- At age 16 Kevin's mom did too much of his personal grooming at home. I would try to have conversations with him about doing his own grooming at home. He just blurting out this gem one day.
- Kevin: Is it bad if my mom shaved my legs once?
- After listening to a Michael Jackson song in class. It turned into an Abbot and Costello bit.
- Lisa: Was Michael Jackson dead before I was born?
- Me: No he died a year ago.
- Lisa: You mean 4 years ago?
- Me: No 1 year ago.
- Lisa: When I was 12?
- Me: No you were 13.
- Lisa: You sure?
- I was trying to convince one of male students to shave his mustache. Lisa had to chime in her opinion about shaving.
- Me: Mike you need to shave you mustache.
- Mike: It looks great!
- Lisa: I need to shave my mustache.
- I don't remember what we were talking about. This was Lisa talking about me.
- Lisa: You mock everyone except for most people.
To this day I still laugh at what my students have said to me in class. They are good memories to have.
