This was a brief conversation between me and one of my students with Autism. You'll find that their answers and explanations make perfect sense sometimes.
While discussing occupations, a card on astronauts came up.
Me: What is an astronaut's job?
Student: To go up into space.
Me: What do you think they do up there?
Student: I don't know.
Me: You think they explore space?
Student: I think so.
Me: Would you like to ever become an astronaut?
Student: No, I don't think so.
Me: Why not?
Student: Because it's too far from my house (with a sad look on his face).
That answer totally melted my heart. His answer was completely logical, and I am in complete agreement.
