So DS (who has Aspergers and is Y10) announces on Monday that he has been invited to meal at friend's house tonight prior to sporting event tomorrow. 'Ok where is it?' Don't know. Tuesday still no address. Could be anywhere within several hundred square miles (private school so large catchment) So today he goes to school. No contact, we phone & SMS, etc., no reply.
Eventually DS calls at 8:30pm from landline. Apparently his mobile not working (he obviously could have called at say 6:30pm to let us know what was going on and what time things were finishing but this behaviour is not exactly unexpected from him). He's around 20 miles away. I give directions home (short walk to bus stop on different road, then bus every 10 minutes, then train then walk from station to our house.
I call back 2 minutes later as apparently buses are being diverted due to roadworks to say I'll call a taxi to the station from their house, as there's no reasonable public transport route. But somebody's already taking him to the station, which is around 15 minutes drive from their house. Apparently they didn't know about the bus diversions but didn't think it was a good idea for him to be looking for buses when he doesn't know the area.
Anyway, DW says IABU to not just go and pick him up and they shouldn't be put out dropping him off. AIBU?
