Yesterday, the Neuro-Psychologist’s office, the doctor was asking Christopher various questions about his family, his friends, his school, etc. He would occasionally ask me to confirm or deny what Chris was saying, but most of the questions were asked directly of him. When the doctor got to the question of his behavior at school, he asked me directly.

Doctor: “How does Christopher behave at school?”

Me: “…Well”.

Christopher: “I can handle this question… my behavior at school is not so good, I get in a lot of trouble and my cards get pulled almost every day”.

Doctor: “Is the card system working for you, or does it seem unfair?”

Christopher: “Nope, I deserve the trouble I get in, when she pulls my card it is only when I earn it”.

Doctor: “What gets you in trouble?”

Christopher: “I talk a lot, but sometimes it is for not turning in my homework or not paying attention”.

Doctor: “Does your teacher ever reward you?”

Christopher: “Only sometimes, but only when I do good, which is not much lately, I get ROAR tickets when I do good though”.

This whole time, Christopher is walking around the room, and dancing, he is not saddened, uncomfortable, or embarrassed by this conversation. He is very matter of fact and there were several times I had to fight back a giggle.
