I tend to post scans of Archer's work when I'm proud of his impression of a neurotypical kid. But of course he brings home plenty of work that expresses his inner autistic in a much more direct way.
Take, for example, the following stapled storybook that came home in his backpack last week. He appears to have autistified the assignment by adding his usual obsessive numbers (random to me, but probably meaningful to him) and by sketching out the rough form of a choose-your-own-adventure novel.
If you're wondering what the inside of Archer's head really looks like, this is probably an accurate representation.
