Pinch

The job I have right now involves watching my neighbors’ autistic son, Spencer, who is 17. He’s a big kid, meaning height, but he’s also pretty severely autistic. He doesn't talk much and when he does it’s either a direct answer to whatever you asked him, or he’s reciting lyrics/lines from a movie he’s memorized. Spencer has a hard time expressing himself with his difficulty of speech so he finds other ways to get your attention… like pinching.
Now I’ve heard about this killer pinch and I’ve seen it in action but Friday, I experienced it. And yes it hurts.
