Correcting Reflex in Autism

Do you remember that kid who is raising their hand desperately during elementary school and then says, “You mean Thursday” to the teacher.

The teacher said Thursday instead of “Tuesday” thirty minutes ago, and has no idea what that kid is talking about, but gets annoyed at this constant interaction and says, “Only raise your hand if you have something relevant to add to the conversation.”
