I feel so sad

sonia

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.

  • Don't get me wrong i'm absolutely NOT ashamed of it. The person he was playing and the GW staff know. But he was playing an 8 year old. Doesn't matter if you say they can't help it they aren't old enough to understand what that means. and the staff just find him disruptive to everyone else. Ben has 1 friend at school and thats it so there is no one to go with him. I also don't want Ben just to say I can't help being rude to you cos I have autism I want him to try and learn to manage his behaviour.
