Here's a guest post from my wife, related to last week's Prime time post.
I was with C at an autism-friendly screening of The Lion King. In the back of the program was a photo accopmanying an article on the young actor playing the lead in The Curious Incident Of the Dog in the Night Time.
I said, "Look, there's a play about a boy who loves prime numbers as much as you do."
C smiled, then said, "But everyone loves prime numbers."
I said, "No. Not everyone loves prime numbers. In fact, a lot of people have trouble remembering their prime numbers."
He looked at me like I had three heads. And even though three is prime, this did not make him happy. So I added, "Only this boy and you like prime numbers, which means you two must be very, very special people."
He seemed to like that. He looked at the photo in the program and touched the boy's face. He smiled and said, "This boy and I are prime people."
