What's on your Saturday Menu, RNYers?

When Ian was a toddler, we spent years in speech therapy teaching him to blow out candles.

Now he's 16, he is incapable of seeing a candle and not blowing it out. Doesn't matter if it's someone's birthday cake or a candle on the table in a restaurant.

Imagine trying to stop a 6ft 6" 270lb man/child from blowing out a toddler's birthday cake!!! We've had some very interesting situations lol

No surprise we never have candles in our house.

Aaah, the joys of severe autism!

Ha, yeah that sounds like an adventure! I remember when my niece was 2 years old she got a little obsessed with candles when her mom had them at the dinner table. Everywhere we would go for a meal, she would cry if they wouldn't put "fire" on the table. We were out at a restaurant and she was was screaming at the top of her lungs, "Fire! Fire! I want fire!". She sounded like a little maniac :)
