autism and BESD

Oldwoman75

my son has autism, learning difficulties and BESD, I'd never heard of BESD till I noticed it on his EHC, has anyone else experience in this and does it make coping any easier?

    Hi Robert,

    I was not trying to offend you and I am sorry if I have.

    I was trying to point out, calling a spade a spade if you will, that you might have caused offence and distress to the OP. Your explanation that you have autism is fine, I knew that, but does it excuse your remarks? Would it hurt so much if you just said sorry?

    I think that we are not good at picking up the social conventions and etiquette automatically but we can still learn rules. One of the rules that might help is to think twice and speak once (or even not at all on some occasions).

    This thread wasn't all about you. Your last post would move the conversation onto yourself as the subject which would perhaps be better if you started your own thread?
