She updated her post to explain the reasoning behind her creative parenting hack.

"My son is a 20-year-old young man who is on the autism spectrum," Kerrisimo said. "He is VERY high functioning and graduated three years ago from high school and last year graduated from college with honors."

"I may not be the cool mom but I do listen to him and what is of interest and important to him," Kerrisimo explained. "Parenting any child you try to find ways to interact with them."

Apparently D was so amused that he actually listened to his mom and took out the trash.

"Thanks everyone" Kerrisimo said in her followup Imgur post. "The trash went out and I could sweep, mop and wash down the can and wall. I even took off the stickers for that one person it bothered," she wrote. "My son really is surprised my first post went on the front page."
