Whenever Adit asked for anything… food, toy or book… he always says, “I like it. I like that one…” We were scratching our heads thinking how come he likes everything that is around him. We were congratulating ourselves for being such great parents that we have filled our house with all the things that Adit likes.

Then, one day we figured it out. At school or at home, he often gets asked, politely, if I may say so, “Adit, would you like a banana?”, “Would you like to draw?” or “Would you like to read?” which sometimes can be substitued for “Adit, do you want a banana?”, “Do you want to draw?” or “Do you want to read?” Because of these questions, circuits for “like” and “want” are crossed in his head. He uses “like” when he means “like” and also in place of “want”. Now, it all makes sense.
