My stepson has Apraxia, and has been tested several times over the passed few years, to see if he is spectrum or not. This post made me think about lil man, and how cruel people can be. (He was beat up in kindergarten for -blam!-'s sake) so bravo to you, bravo for helping your home boy keep his cool, and for loving him for who he is. This is how we're supposed to treat each other, and I respect the hell out of you for, not only, standing up, but the way you did it. Rather than counter attack, you buffed the defense. Well played.
