I feel so sad

Ben and I have just come back from warhammer (a strategy game) He absolutely loves it but the other kids just don't get him and he is annoying (I hate sayng that but I can see from their 7 year old eyes that he is) I just want to say to everyone, he can't help it he has autism. He spent the game calling the other child a loser and winding him up and finally when the other child started crying in frustration. I said to him Ben you've made him cry and he says good thats what he deserves. I know he says that because he does feel bad but his defense mechanism is always to say it was their fault or they deserved it. But I see him at home when I know he thinks he is a horrible boy that no likes. It just makes me feel sad for him, he wants friends so badly but pushes them away.

  • Do any of the other children know he has autism?

    Do any of the other childrens parents go with them, and do they know?

    I assume you go to one of the GW shops, or a local club, where there is some other adult in charge, do they know?

    Or does he have a friend that does know that could go along with him?

    Maybe you should just say "he can't help it, he has autism"!

    Why hide it?

    It's the truth, and it's nothing to be ashamed of.
