VLAD TALES

All the regular family members gathered for the holiday dinner. There were elders of the family and young people as well. The was much banter at the table and talk of school, work and recent vacations. The mother hosting the meal tried talking to the youngest child who did not respond nor did he like being hugged, prodded or dotted upon. His father explained that the child had Autism and did not speak or like being too close to others. He continued that his son is getting speech theraspy, but may not ever talk as some people with Autism are "non verbal." The meal continued as people conversed and left the child with Autism to himself. Towards the end of the evening the Autistic child muttered, "Fffff." Everyone became silent. The young boy continued, "Fffffuuuck You."
