I have a student that would eat ketchup all day, every day, if he could. But his teacher wants him to only have 1 cup of it a day, because he gets silly if he eats more.
This means I found myself writing a social story that included a page about only having one cup of ketchup a day.
When I asked one of the ladies who works in the cafeteria if I may have a ketchup cup to photograph, she looked at me strangely. I tried to warn her. I led with, "This will probably be a strange request, but..."
She asked her supervisor, who quizzed me on my intentions for said picture. I did not realize that asking for a ketchup cup (empty, even!) would be a suspicious activity.
When I said that I had to write a story for a student that needs to limit his intake. "Oh", she said, "I know exactly who you are talking about," and sent off someone to get me a ketchup cup.
Some days, my job is weird.
