Seeing Red

I have been a rather 'naughty' boy this evening, and I knew what I did was wrong, but I did it anyway. I asked Mom for a red pen to draw Mrs J (my TA at school) a get better picture but instead I drew all over my Lego men and also all over my arm and hand as well. Then I went into Mom and Dad's bedroom and scared them both by telling them I had cut myself.

I know what I did was wrong but I don't know why I did it. My punishment for doing what I did? A red arm and hand because the pen won't come off properly as I used a red perminant marker pen. The one Mom told me not to use. I have a school assembly tomorrow and I now have to do it with red all over my hand for everyone to see. I don't like the thought of that because everyone might laugh at me. Mom say's it's my own fault for doing it when I knew I shouldn't have done, and that she will try and wash it off again in the morning.

Mom is very upset, but not at all dissappointed. She is used to me doing things like this, I do them on a regular basis, but not always because I know it's wrong. Most of you who follow me or my Mom know that I am Autistic but what I did tonight had nothing at all to do with it at all. Mom says I was just being a 'typical' 6yr old boy, but it still makes what I did wrong and naughty.

I chose this Blip tonight because I wanted to show you that being Autistic isn't always the drive behind my bad behaviour, I too am just a 'normal' 6yr old underneath it all, and CAN think for myself and 'chose' to do it or not.
