Sean came to me with an odd question... especially for an autstic
individual.  He looked up at me, and asked:
"How does ferrets cry, mommy?"
 
I was completely caught off guard.  He wouldn't understand depression, etc
that ferrets can get.  He might not understand complex emotions or complex
social expressions of any sort.  So it was hard to think up anything at
all.  Luckily, Ping was asleep twitching and dreaming with an actual "tear"
in his eye.  I quickly showed him, that he was "crying" as he must have
been dreaming about something sad (rather than his eye was just watering).
He seemed relieved to know that they "could" actually cry.  I was
wondering... whether it's an explanation for Sean or all of us, How do you
all think ferrets cry?
