refusing to apologise

Just preempting what I think might happen and asking for your comments.

I have a feeling that I may be called into school because one of my son's tutors overheard my son say to his lsa that he doesn't like his tutor because he cannot teach.

The tutor overheard and has demanded an  apology.  My son has refused to do so.

His aspieness has kicked in I think, as telling the truth, despite who it hurts, is the logical thing to do in his mind.

Just not sure how I get this across to his tutor.  If he does apologise, it will not be heartfelt and it somehow feels wrong to force my son to apologise when we  all know it is false, and will no doubt turn my son even more against this tutor.

Has anyone else been through this and / or have suggestions?

    Your son may well be able to accept making an apology when he views it from the viewpoint of the "greater good" that it would unlock. (i.e. play the strategy game!)

    That would be a very rare Aspie indeed...

    (Aspies usually have a strong desire for justice, black and white thinking, are unable to express emotions they don't mean and don't partake - or have any desire to partake - in social games).
