• you know... my son with autism might do something like that because he is "monotriopic" and  his mind is wired as such that "he doesn't like it ... it doesn't belong"

  do you know anything about this kid or are you just passing judgement? because if you met my kid you wouldn't guess autism... you might think he was rude, or ill mannered.

  and he's not.. he's autistic.

  so do you know anything about this kid or are you just assuming that he is ill mannered?

• I have met this kid, no he does not appear to be autistic,  I do have an autistic neighbor and he is very polite.  I see this kid(the one trying to pull my dds bike apart) riding around on his bike all the time, with no parents in sight.  I have seen his Father maybe one time.  That one time his father told him it was time to come home, about 15 minutes later the kid was back out riding his bike.  I have no clue where he actually lives, somewhere near the playground I assume.  But I cannotImagine any Parent letting their 8 or 9 year old ride their bikes around town, by them selves, autistic or not.

• It doesnt sound like he did it to be malicious. It also sounds like it is not his fault and that maybe he wasnt taught any better. It is too bad that he has to pay for the parents not parenting him.

  I dont blame you tho. Maybe they can play together at the park but with strict supervision? IDK I just feel bad for him.

• I do feel bad for him, but at the same time, at his age, he ought to know better.  In past instances he has popped my dds bouncy ball, and lost 2 other balls down our driveway, and dd told me he once showed her his private area, so I am very much concerned about her hanging around this kid.

  LOL  I was actually picturing Kyle in my head doing this and asking a few million questions. 

  To the OP, if you've met one autistic child, you've met one autistic child.  They're all different. ....just because your neighbor is polite and is autistic doesn't mean much.  My son is polite at times, but if he's having bad day, watch out.  And, is he being disrespectful with WORDS or just doing THINGS that you think are wrong?  To me there's a big difference sometimes.  Of course, neither are "good" or "ok" or "easy to deal with" but I'm just trying to help problem solve.

  How old is he? What did he do to pop the ball and loose the others?

• He probobly is trying to get attention. i ahd a neighbor last year who had a 7 year old who constantly would throw my 5yr olds toys over the wall and break things when he thought noone was looking. His parents were not good people. I felt so bad for him it was ahdr to get mad. His parents NEVER bought him anything not even a ball to paly with but the dad always had beer and smokes. Mayeb you could get the kid a ball or something for him as a gift from your daughter. I bet that would make him feel really great and maybe he will be less destructive.

  woah!  he exposed himself to her? oh hell no, i would not let her anywhere near him, and tell him he needs to stay away from her if you can't find his parents to tell them

• I would be pissed too.

  And no disrespect to the Mom's who posted with autistic kids, but if you know how your kid is, do you let them go down to the park by themselves without supervising them? That sounds kind of stupid to me.
