My son is 10 and is autistic. He is so particular and meticulous at everything he does he very very rarely makes mistakes. If me or his dad or his sister do make mistakes which we do he goes absolutely mad. Everything has to be done to routine and his timekeeping is so precise. Basically he lives his life on precision and timing. He absolutely thrives at school as is so routine and precision driven. Although if a teacher does make a mistake he will got cross with them!!! I have such brilliant comments at school about how well brought up he is and how he is so fantastic at everything he does.
He is a teachers dream in fact!!!! He absolutely loves school. Take him out of the school situation and into the public domain or at home and if anybody makes a mistake or something goes different to routine he loses it. He always has since he was little and where he used to scream and scream and throw himself on the floor this has now changed to being sworn at and talking at me in such a deragatory way. Today it was " you stupid woman your f***ing mistake has spolt my life". "You need to use your brain and think with this (point to head) before you act." The f word is being used a lot as is bitch. I try taking screen time away and rationalising with him but at the time his head and brain can't cope with what is going wrong and once he is in full meltdown there is nothing you can do. It was easier when he was llittle and screaming but I just hate the stares and tuts from other people. He also has no inhibitions what so ever so doesn't care that other people are looking at him. We had a complete full audience of spectators today who were absolutely aghast at what they were hearing today after his swimming lesson when i dropped my phone. My crap parenting is being discussed with great enthusiasm over social media apparently!!!
