The Autism World
I am spending lots of time listening to my autistic nephew. Everyday I wake up thinking that I really understand him. Then, he says something so totally out of this world and I realise I will never get it. People with autism live in their own world. They will never understand our world, so we have to try to understand their world....

Headphone for $350.00
Ray ran over to Nellie's house. He rang the door bell. He told Nellie at the door that he wants to chill for a few mins. He comes into the house, took his coat off and was about to sit when he starts telling Nellie about his new $350.00 headphone and $250.00 Ipod that he bought today. Nellie was furious when she heard the cost of the item. She told him that she cannot tolerate it and he doesn't know how many hungry and homeless people there are out there.
"Ray, you should be thinking about the poor people and don't buy such wasteful things", she told him.
"My mom takes care of the poor", Ray said.
"Ray, you have to leave to leave right now, I can't deal with this nonsense right now", said Nellie.
Ray continues talking with Ande, not paying too mucj attention to Nellie. This made Nellie more upset. After a few minutes Ray leaves with Ande to go back home. After he left, Nellie was wondering if she handled that the right way. Should she have just listen to Ray's story about his $350.00 headphone and $250.00 Ipod ?
