Today, I heard a loud beep for over an hour. It didn't come from my phone or even an alarm of some sort. It was my son pretending to be a smoke alarm. FML
Suicidal_Divide tells us more.
OP here. I really didn't think this would be posted. So here is a little background on what was going on. First off, my son is 9 years old and Autistic, he is higher fuctioning but does still does repetative (and sometimes annoying) things. This does not mean I love him any less he is still my baby. He started the beeping because his grandpa came home and settled in without going in an saying Hi, so he hid under a blanket in the entry hall and announced himself by beeping loudly. While this wasn't the best way of trying to get anyones attention, it happened. While it started out cute, it did get annoying after a bit, but I also knew that he would stop as soon as he got tired of his "game". Not everyone would put up with the beeping as long as I did, but he was not hurting anything so I decided to let my son have his fun since he was not hurting anything.

Gross! I do not smoke!

Didn't mean any offense to you. Hadn't read your follow up and thought if you were smoking in front of him it was not his fault but yours. Kudos to you for being a patient and understanding parent.

There is nothing funny about hitting any child!

Even if her son wasnt autistic hitting them is still a terrible idea! Especially when they weren't doing anything wrong!

Yeah, hit a 9 year old autistic child. Shows how you shouldn't have kids.

My brother acts like smoke alarms, storm Sirens, and basically anything that will drive anyone and everyone absolutely nuts.

Dang OP.. 1. You have a lot of patience 2.i was reading the comments, and I love how you defended, not only your child, but every other child.. 3. Keep up the posting, although I, personally, wouldn't consider this an FML.. And don't get me wrong, I love helping other children with special needs.. Heck, one of my best buds is special needs.. But long story short, thanks for the follow up and I hope I see more of your future posts
