> Yes, he can tare. It’s amazing the things he intuitively understands. I’m pretty sure he understands that 1kg = 1,000 grams because he keeps switching back and forth. I’m not as sure about lbs and oz, he knows they are a measurement of weight but the relationship is not exactly logical and he seems less interested.

When he gets older, with his math interests, he would make an excellent cycle counter in an inventory program. In all of the years that I reconciled inventory, my most talented (and favorite) counters tended to be on the spectrum. Shoot, had I grown up at a later date, I would have likely been diagnosed on the spectrum too.

Irked, pretty much skimmed a good share of the MMP (will catch up later) and am not too far out from taking Nelson to do his business.

Stay safe and healthy y’all!
