I do not condone these childrens actions and think they should be punished. I am STRONGLY against spanking or any kind of child physical "discipline". as a child I was spanked with a wooden spoon and a hairbrush often in anger and it has left me fearful and anxious as well as angry. I feel these kids need to be given time out or have their privileges taken away.

Well, her younger son and my son get along great. She constantly complains about him and her in-laws don't like to keep him because they say he is a nightmare to take care of, but they will keep her "mean" son. My uncle, who I think is an aspie adores my son and also her younger son, but can't stand the older one.

Well, I've been telling my husband that outside of the speech delay my son has, the little one walks on his tiptoes and does many things my son did/does. I have said at some point he'll be diagnosed, although my family thinks I'm crazy. Well, my cousin just took her kiddo for a psychometric test and others and was told he has some speech delay and others...she took him for his school interview and the kiddo said he wasn't going to do it, that he'd do it another day. I have a feeling soon she'll be told to get him diagnosed. Soon she'll understand when other kids treat him badly...sadly, she prefers her older one, so the younger one gets punished just because of meltdowns....caused by big brother.

I don't wish her bad, but soon she'll understand what me and my son go through.


It kind of sounds like her son is on the spectrum. I hope she can come around and be supportive of her younger child. Poor kid.

Yes, I agree. Actually, a number of studies have shown that the kids that get spanked tend to be the bullies. After all, they've been taught that aggression and violence are acceptable tools for making other people do what you want. NT kids, being the prodigious imitators that they are, will not take long to learn violence when Mom and Dad teach it to them.
