Matt informs me that he suspects one of the girls in his class has a crush on him. Apparantly she has been requesting he draw pictures for her, so many that he is suspicious. She has also said some flirty things to him. She has given him a nickname.
This thrills me to no end for several reasons. The first reason is that my child is recognizing a peer showing interest in him. Not always an easy task for a kid on the spectrum. Secondly, having a child who doesn't always go through the developmental stages at the same time as his peeers, is rough on him and me, so I am grateful that he is being introduced to a typical middle school milestone. And mostly I am thankful that some 12 year old female vixon, has such good taste that she is able to see past Matt's burgundy high water sweat pants and fall for his charm, intelligence and fine wit. Well I am just about speechless over that.
