The directness and purity of autistic children is a blessing. It certainly puts you in your place….
I told a really bad joke and got no reaction. So I told it again but this time started to explain it.
“Dad just stop. You don’t need to repeat it. The greatest artists and musicians never copied their masterpieces, they moved on to new ideas. Never repeated themselves.”
After a few seconds of silence
“Dad in no way am I saying you are a great artist or musician. The phrase can apply to others as well”
A Dad trying to cope with the loss of his Partner and becoming a single parent. 
😂 this so reminds me of my interactions with my own son. Brilliant.

Your post reminded me of another post I read yesterday from one of my other favorite bloggers – there are some good dad jokes in here you could try out (I already did – strangely enough, it was my husband that liked them the most :-))

Kids. The ultimate truth bombs. Autism guarantees an adult retains their truth meters. No speech curbing despite society’s programming attempts.
The upside is, you enjoy your own honesty.
