Bed Punishment Was the Boy likely to have been Autistic?

David

I heard a little boy about nine years old in my local park scream he does not want to go to bed.

It was about 4PM.

Pulled the lady  he was with probably his Mother.

A lot of the time she was on her mobile talking about the number of people in the park.

A girl probably his younger sister comforted him.

The apparent Mother ignored the screaming and being pulled about.

Many people in the Mothers situation would have hit the boy.

I asked the NSPC by E Mail who was abused.

They said that if I could identify the child I could report it.

There are two sides here.

One side is that children should not be put to bed during the day for punishment so he was right to resist.

 

The other side is that children should obey their Mothers.

I have been told many times that I should accept authority even if it is wrong.

Was that little boy likely to have been Autistic.?

  • Yes I agree in a sense it was the Mother who was abused not the boy.

    My Mother thinks putting children to bed means that they might associate all bed times as a punishment but she thinks it is better than hitting.

    My Mother rarely if ever used bed as a punishment but thinks I wouldl not have gone to bed and did not go to my room.

    I agree although most children would prefer a slap than have to go to bed on a fine afternoon.

    Evedence he is Autistic is that boy went wild shouting he does not want to go to bed instead of giving reasons.

    I am fifty-five years old with no children.

    Do you have children?
