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

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.

I'm pretty sure this topped out as the funniest FML ever posted.? (sorry by the way)

Looks like you're living on down syndrome abbey, I'm sorry op, that's rough, the genetic lottery just screws people sometimes.

It's very sweet of you that you put up with his behavior, especially if you realize that it's his kind of fun. You sound like a very loving parent, keep up the good work!

Thank you! Sometime it can feel like you are a horrible parent even though you are not.

Welp now I know what to do to my mom next time I visit.

YDI because we both know how bad a meltdown can be. ;)

Yes! A meltdown can be hell! Boy was I glad bedtime was fast approaching lol

you are an amazing the kind I want to be. he is lucky to have a mom like you and I hope he knows that.

Aww, my cousin has autism, and he used to get really annoying, but I've been becoming really patient when I see him and getting more along with him.. Kudos to you for being so patient with him :)
