Dad not letting autistic son call me when girlfriend is around

We have a 6 year old son. He has autism and gets very overwhelmed anyway at school and at dads. Dad has contact eow.

I have noticed (and so has my son) that since he has introduced his latest girlfriend he has stopped son from calling us on the weekends. It's really upset my son and it's starting to upset me too.

I don't want to come off as jealous by mentioning it (because I'm not, he was with his last partner for just under 4 years and she was fab. She was great. Evan when he was not. We still get along well). But he gets upset when things aren't a certain way and not being able to call mum is a problem for him that just doesn't seem to be going away.

Aibu? And if not what do I say that is reasonable?

Is your son asking to call and being told no?

You say that son gets upset when he doesn’t call over weekend. Can we set up a rough schedule for phone calls in both directions?

YANBU

Just say to XP that he seems to have forgotten that DS wants to talk to you at weekends.

Don't mention the GF at all.....

Can you ring your son instead?
