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.?

  • In the same park I saw a boy who looked sixteen speaking strangely and he had a little sister of fifteen months.

    The boy was actually thirteen and he does have Asperger Syndrome.

    He was in no kind of trouble with his Mother.

     

    As for the boy who shouted he did not want to go to bed just because he challenged authority does not prove he was Autistic.

    We must be very clear that resisting Authority and even breaking the law is not being Autistic.  However it is probably true that Autistic people tend to challenge authority more than so called NTS.  I challenged authority a lot when I was at school.

    A boy actually said who was at school with me although he does not believe in corporal punishment as they did it I should have taken my punishment like a man for flcking pellets.  That person is a communist but he still supports authority.

    It is history in more than one sense as that school closed down in 1972 and that conversation was in 1978.  The pellets incident when we got slippered was 1970.

     

    It is typically British to say that the law and conventions must be kept even when it is wrong.

    I watched part of a programme about what it is to be British.

    Waiting your turns in ques is one thing British.

    I say also submitting to authority even when it is wrong is British.

    Do you agree that Autistic people challenge authority more than so called  NTS.?
