I'm super amused right now by this boy I met. I think I somehow have this natural connection with special needs children? This sec 2 boy was asking a question out loud at raffles place mrt station and we started chatting. Hahaha super funny cos it sounded like one of the typical conversations i'll be having with the students at pl. I'm quite convinced that he has autism/asperger's cos
1) our conversation was sparked off by his qns about mrt
2) he made particular mentions to buses, mrts and time in our conversation
3) I attempted eye contact and yep, he didnt make direct eye contact
And that's other than the most obvious signal of his school uniform.
Oh and the first few things he said was "you're very pretty", with the behaviourism of pl students. It's like how we used to laugh with aitc ppl when they have social skills lesson on the topic of praising ppl. Hahaha makes me laugh thinking about it! Afterwards he solemnly explained to me that it's nice to praise people cos they'll feel happy. Sounds familiar, no? Anyway, had a nice chat about school and all that, makes me miss pl students! After he dropped off at redhill, I realised that I should have warned him against speaking to strangers, because not every stranger is as nice as me! Do hope his teachers teach that during social skills..
Hahahaha so that's a very weird but fun conversation to start my day! :)
