The Autistic Prankster: Enjoying the Fun Side of Autism Paperback – September 3, 2017
Excerpt-
“With the sleight of hand
of a Vegas magician he had slipped open the deadbolt to its open
position as he made his way through the door. This causes a sound that
is quite jarring at the dawn of a frantic Monday morning where good
moods are in short supply. For him, however, all is right in the world
as he giggles with satisfaction.
This routine was milked for
all it was worth and on all three exterior doors of the house that have
deadbolts. Even the side door to the garage gave him many
opportunities, as this leads to the laundry. With distractions of
laundry tasks and full hands, there was ample opportunity for him to
make his move before the machine was turned on and it’s time to return
inside and close the door.
Throughout the sorting,
loading and unloading, one simply gets lost in their mundane work. Once
the task is done, one is simply planning to catch some recliner time
along perhaps with some clothes folding by the TV mixed in. This is the
only thought as you use your two free fingers to forcefully pull the
door shut behind you and- THUNK!
He could be far away on the
other side of the house, but the victim can easily hear him giggling.
His plan worked and he revels in the payoff. This was all he needed to
accomplish that day, not reading, not comprehension, not the mastering
of any life skill that his parents fretted about.”
