Bed Punishment Was the Boy likely to have been Autistic?

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.?

  • I have just sent a comment in the Metro about a forteen year old boy found hanged in his room.

    You can look for that comment on the web.

    I have not seen my comment yet but the other comments agree that it was not really the Computer Game which caused the boy to hang himself.

    They said it was because of a computer game but children have been found hanged in their rooms long before they were invented.

    I said he was partly found hanged as he was in his room alone depressed.

    They said he was grounded.

    My comment was that if chidren are sent to their room or bed for punishment it is important that someone checks the child is all right.

    It is even more important to do that if they have a condition such as Autism or Bi Polar.
