6 yr old DS (mild ASD) told his TA last week he hates himself and wants to die! It was in the middle of a tantrum when he was asked to stop doing something. He is generally quite happy in himself - I have never heard him say anything like this before so I was shocked as it seems so bad.
He told me he hates himself a little bit because the other boys are better at maths etc.
What am I meant to do about this? I tried to get him to talk and told him I love him and want to help him to be happy but I think I was annoying him as he was more concerned with getting back to his lego.
It's like he might have blurred out something serious without really meaning it - or else maybe he really is deeply unhappy
