me: Oh, Ol, I'm so sorry about that Violet scratched up your face tonight.
O: Yeah. Mommy, why sissy get so angry?
me: Well, sweetie, I think she gets frustrated when she can't say what she's feeling, so she uses her hands instead of her words.
O: That autism, Mommy?
me: Yep, bud. A lot of that is sissy's autism.
O: Why sissy get autism?
me: Well, honey....everyone is made a little different, and has special things that make them who they are. This is something special about Violet.
O: What autism?
me: Um....autism is something that makes Violet brain work a little differently than yours. Sometimes she has trouble with her words or her feelings.
O: Why sissy has autism and I not has autism?
me: I don't know, bud.
Seriously. I'll take a birds-and-bees talk any day over this.
