No. The greatest interaction I had was when a kid didn’t hold a door for me and his mom said “I’m sorry he has Asperger’s and it’s a little heavy on the ass.”

No. The greatest interaction I had was when a kid didn’t hold a door for me and his mom said “I’m sorry he has Asperger’s and it’s a little heavy on the ass.”
Then we ended up in the same waiting room for a while and she talked about accommodating her son and how they managed it. What was really interesting is the kid looked like it was the first time he heard his mom talk to someone else about it and him and I could tell he was embarrassed but really loving her that moment.
- cuttysnark 2y ago> it's a little heavy on the ass I hadn't heard this idiom before so I looked it up and I couldn't find anything relevant. What does this phrase mean in this context?
- School-Cotton 2y agoThe first syllable of Asperger sounds like “ass”, and the mom was making a pun based on that fact (pointing out that her son’s Asperger’s made him an ass).
