a 7 year old's proposal

I don't know what is going on in my little Prince's head, but a few days ago he had a box of tic tacs and wanted to share with me if I'd be his friend.  I told him of course I was his friend.  He popped a tic tac into my mouth and asked me "will you marry me?" I almost dissolved into tears.I held him for several minutes.  I told him he was too late, I already married his daddy.  He was really really upset about that so he asked me again. I told him of course I'd marry him and all was right with the world.  Later I asked him to do something he didn't want to do (clean up, brush his teeth, something like that) and he said to me "you're supposed to be my friend!"

Autism testing

Pretty soon my little prince will be tested for Autism.  I've looked up the red flags online, and I've read about the "quirks" and such and figure this is a good idea and wonder why they haven't brought it up before.  What I'm afraid of is the label.  Once labeled, you're labeled for life.  He won't be able to shake it.  And I'm afraid of being one of those parents who dismisses everything, saying "oh, nobody understands him, it's the autism." "let him get away with that, he has autism." "He does that because of his autism." I hate that.  I don't want to dismiss his behaviour, I want to let him know that some of his behaviours are inappropriate and should stop.  I don't want to enable the inappropriate behaviours. I guess I'll wait and see what the school psychologist, social worker, and such say about it.  They'll be calling me for a home visit soon.
