Things My Son Forgot This Week

He forgot all the normal things this week: lunch money, books, to tell me things. But he forgot to do something this week that is unforgivable and made me furious. He didn't bother to learn his new aide's name. Every day when I would pick him up I would ask, "Did you ask your aide's name?" And he would reply, "No, I forgot". I had to threaten to ground him for the rest of the school year, but he finally asked. Autism or not, it was rude. He is finally functioning enough to at least fake common courtesy.
