Tough shit, autism! AHA HA HA HA HA!!

Child 2 has a playdate over right now; he's very talkative, very social, will not take "no" for an answer and he's taken this interest in Child 1 who isn't used to this. I've decided not to intervene in any way because the kid is really sweet and all he's doing is talking and wanting to socialize, so I'm just watching what happens, even though I know Child 1 is hating every minute of it.

The kid keeps following him around and just will NOT stop talking; it's cracking me up. "Hey, what are you doing? What is that? Can I play? Why can't I play? Where are you going? I'm coming with you. Why did you do that? Why won't you talk to me? Jacob? Jacob? Jacob? Jacob? Jacob? Jacob? Why won't you talk to me? Jacob? Jacob? Jacob? Jacob? Where are you going? I'm coming with you. Jacob? Jacob? Jacob? Jacob?"

Poor Jake, but this is really good for him because his brother tends to give up really easily, and he may be annoyed but he's not being harmed or anything so I'm just watching it all unfold.
