My DS age 6 has high functioning autism. On a good day he seems like a 'normal' kid, and on a bad day he cries all day and wont talk and just clings to me. Today has been bad.
I've taken him to rock climbing class with younger DS. In the drink queue at break, another kid went in front because she's leaving early, which is fine, but my DS thinks she's pushed in the queue. He is very black and white about rules. So essentially this sets him off.
We get to the (20 year old climber) guy and I ask if he can have a drink please. DS is under my scarf. The guy says only if he says please. I explain he's autistic and cant talk right now but that I'm saying please, and my other DS is saying please. The guy says no he's able to ask he asked the other week. I said that's not how autism works, he sulked and by now there's a queue and people have overheard. Eventually gave me the drink.
Was IBU? Should I make a complaint? If it was my 'normal' DS or DD I would have course made them ask but trying to make an autistic kid do anything is impossible. I'm so annoyed at the guy and myself and autism and just trying not to be annoyed at DS
