What now?
Please, no judgement. I’m already overthinking. Okay, so I have a 4 year old boy with level 1 ASD, very high functioning. Today, at preschool pick up my husband saw that his teacher wrote us a note and another teacher (that isn’t his usual teacher) verbally told my husband that today my son said “I’m going to kill you” to one of his friends. The note said that she pulled him to the side and tried to probe at where he got that from or where/who told that to him, etc. Well, immediately when we found out, my husband talked to him on the car ride home and then I talked to him when he got home (I was finishing up with work) and just tried to probe a little more. My 4 year old said that another kid in his class was being mean to him and said those words and so he said it back. I told him that we don’t say that and there are other safer ways to express our feelings etc. Now, I’m immediately cutting back any screen time. He has like an hour or so screen time during the day, but now idk I’m going to be very strict about it. He only watches youtube kids (usually educational) and plays approved games. Has this happened to anyone else? What now? Therapy?
