His reply in a sarcastic voice ( and for an autistic kid sarcasm isnt generally their strong point) he says "I had McDonalds" and chugged away.... tough to argue that logic i guess ����

Heh this reminds me of a guy I knew well 20 some years ago when I worked with handicap residential and there was this guy named Leo who had no arms. I may have told this story before but I still find it remarkable. He had a car designed to help him drive with no arms. He liked to drink and ended up hitting a telephone pole. Asked why he was drinking and driving he said "because normal people drink and drive" .
