Actually, I do have something. I have an 11th grade boy in my class who is very high functioning autistic. He has become very interested in girls this year. He always ask me for advice on dating. I try to tell him that whatever he does, to just take it slow. He is always afraid that he will say something inappropriate and people will laugh at him, so he tries to run it across me first to see what he should do. Well, you may remember that one day out of the blue he told me he wanted to see a hot girl topless. I told him very gently, that wasn't something he really needed to discuss in class and among mixed company. He got embarrased and said," Oh, okay, I didn't think about that." Well, yesterday one of the boys asked him "So, how is your quest for breast going?" Teaching high school I never know what I will hear!
