There's a story of an autistic teen who was really into maps. He would often draw detailed maps of his neighborhood in his head. One day, his family got lost while driving. He told them exactly how to get back home, step by step, using all the side streets and shortcuts. His family was both amazed and amused at how accurate he was, and his matter - of - fact way of giving directions was really funny.
A child with autism was at a birthday party. When it was time for cake, he refused to eat it until all the candles were removed and the icing was smoothed out because it didn't look 'right' to him. After it was fixed, he ate it with great delight, which was quite a humorous sight for the other guests.
One funny autism story is about a young boy on the spectrum who had an obsession with dinosaurs. He knew every single dinosaur name, fact, and when they lived.

Sure. There was this autistic kid in my neighborhood. One day, he got fixated on the idea of counting all the leaves on a particular tree. He spent hours out there, carefully counting each one. His determination was so intense but also really funny in a cute way. And when he finally finished, he was so proud of himself, like he had achieved the greatest feat.
One memorable story is of an autistic child who loved numbers. At a birthday party, when it was time to cut the cake, he started counting the candles over and over again. And when someone tried to blow them out, he said in a very loud voice, 'You can't blow until I'm done counting!' It was hilarious.
Once, an autistic young man was at a family gathering. He noticed that his uncle's tie was crooked. Instead of just telling him, he started doing a little 'operation' on the tie as if he was a surgeon. He was making all these funny comments about how the tie was a 'patient' and needed fixing. His actions and words had everyone in stitches.

One good autism bedtime story could be 'The Little Star Who Shined Differently'.
