my aunt does not take care of her 11 year old son who has autism, the kid destroys things and he is a danger to himself and others, they let him watch horror and rated R movies and he gets really irritated often, despite all the info my aunt has on the subject she still HITS him to correct him, abut i think its a big mistake because I'm sure hes only learning that hitting is permitted, and it gets worse because on some occasions he has thrown heavy things at ppl he is super rude and he curses allot,no one can talk to him without getting hurt or cursed and when he visits some ones home he goes into rooms and breaks things, and the parents don't seem to care and if some one tells them what he did they just hit him, i think it is abuse what they are doing to him and the poor kid doesn't know what is wrong from right, but what worries me most is that he is getting into the habit of hitting my 3 year old, I'm scared that he might hurt or even kill my son because he watches movies that are about killing and becuase no one seems to care enought to teach him that hitting is bad, i did not know he was hitting my son untill my mom told me recently so now i will follow my son every were the thing is that i would not need to do this if they took better care of their kid and i also feel that once the kid grows up he will get stronger and it will be imposible to keep him from hurting and hitting him will not work anymore what should i do, the subject is a delicate topic to talk about so how can i tell his parents to take better care of him wile they are out, or what else can i do?

  1. You nephew is just autistic not stupid - he should be hit back, let him experience the pain he gives and he won't do it anymore.  I have a girlfriend whose daughter is severely mentally retarded and she would constantly bite - well when the others started to bite her back - she didn't like the feeling and she stopped.  God Bless.


  2. I would talk to a lawyer.

  3. i woudn't take my son near him, considering that an 11 year old can truly hurt a 3 year old!

    i'm sorry to hear about your nephew's problems in his upbringing, but you're responsible for your son's upbringing. Just make sure you do get that one right!

    your son will learn to hit and swear if he spends time around this boy.

    i don't want to sound harsh, i know that this boy isn't doing this on purpose, but your first responsibility is towards your 3 year old. this is how i see it.  

  4. Autism is mysteious,it is not properly identify, but the child could thrive with attention and praise, so sad the parents are in denaiel, that he was that  , to accept is to correct, so sorry     yes  tell your son to stay close to you, ,this kid is mimmicking his parents behaviur, by acting up  that is all his learned,be kind to him   the outdoors and animals  does wonders  with  kids withthis condition, remember if the parents cuz,  that is a form self-esteem to show-off, a tuff personality,you be blunt, I did one time, to a house drunk,,, I told her straight out,  YOU are the problem, not your child , so sad he has to grow, up  like this  yes different suraouning affect autistic children greatly ecpessiaclly if they do not recongize now one  and wher he is at,, but he is retaliating.........

  5. Seriously I have a 3 year old and a friend with an autistic child...I'm sorry I would say something..my baby is not going to be beat because of bad parenting...my friends son cannot talk so cursing is a new one for me...I would say something and avoid them as much as possible and not let my kid out of my sight...He can really hurt your baby and your baby cannot defend itself against an 11 year old...

  6. This is a sad and very delicate situation. Your absolutely right. Hitting promotes hitting and violent films will promote violence. Throwing things at 3 year old is very dangerous and a 11 year old has lots more power behind is throws. I would be concerned of the bad habits he is teaching your 3 year old. (ex. throwing things, cursing, etc). Keep following your son around to keep him safe or if all possible limit their time together.

    I am sure the parents are doing the best they can for him. I am sure it is very difficult for them to have a son with these kinds of problems. I'm not trying to make excuses for them. I just can't imagine having to deal with this on a daily bases. I would have a talk with them and explain my fears for my son and theirs. Maybe talk to the boys teachers to see how they handle situations like this in class. Go to the library and check out books on dealing with discipline with a  autism child.

    good luck to you and your family

  7. cps is always an option. they will go in give them a warning and see what is all going on.

    children with autism need to be dealt with very carefully. you should never hit them it will mess with them mentally and physically and could s***w them up for life.
