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.?

  • This is related to my post above although not do with bed.

    I remember when I was about twelve probably in 1970 being slippered for apparently no reason.

    My Mother as usual collected me and I told her that my Gym Master had slippered me for apparently no reason.  The Gym Master asked me to bend over to show I could and the wack left a slight sting.

    My Mother went in to see the Head Master Mr.Hopkins.

     

     

    My offence according to a teacher who witnessed the incident was that my shoes were not done up.

    The Gym Master  the next day said in front of my class it was for foolling around in the Gym and he could not hit me as I did not let him.

    He pulled a boy out and gave him a slight tap to prove to me that I was making a fuss about nothing.

    Head Master verdict:

    Good Head Master but a man of his time.

     

    Mr Hopkins told my Mother that if he had read my medical records he would not have accepted me in his school and he did not care about me being slippered without good reason.

    In other words he blamed me for making a fuss.

    Other people have told me since that the Head Master was quite right as it was a private school. In other words his school.  Mr.Hopkins has beed dead for years.

    Do Autistic Children tend to make more fuss about punishment than so called NTs?

    I suppose we are supposed to have a stronger sense of justice than so called NTs.

    Why do you want me to keep my surname secret.

    I am not ashamed of the above story although may be I should be.
