Accidentally hit someone with log

Alright, so, I'm in school right now and I wanna post because It's on my mind. I was at a swing with my other autistic friend, Ash. He was saying how his brother could sing in soprano and I got jealous, so I threw the swing. It's attached to a rope though and it spun around and made my friends head bleed a lot. I panicked, had a nervous meltdown and now people keep asking me if he's ok (said way too many times) and if I'm ok (Which A: Why are you asking and B: No! Please leave!) Advice wanted plz ;(

  • It's a very good sign you admitted you were wrong. That shows you are a good person. But many people might not realize how much it affected you. I think some might be trying clumsily to point out you were wrong [which you know; but they don't know this]. In their second query, they are asking if there is something troubling you, that made you do this.

    If you see these people often, it might be worth writing a short note of explanation - that you find it hard to cope after doing something like this and need to be left to work it out - that will reassure them. I think the questions were well meant.

  • I find the most important thing is to try stay calm, breath calmly and snap into a care mode -I push my own feelings to the back so I don't panic and can deal with them later. If you can focus on looking after the other person rather than what caused it -so attend to first aid.  A thing to note with head injuries, don't try and pretend they didn't happen, make sure someone knows and factually report what happened even if it does look bad on you -I always tell my kids it's important to just say what happened so treatment is accurate and what's needed.  If you feel the impact was quite hard, that could help your friends recovery if someone else knows you are concerned.

    It's okay to tell people you need some space, just really good if you manage to tell/write down events so others can help you.

    Things like this will help you control your temper in future. Stim to let the energy go rather that do something you might regret.
