He was having dinner with his wife and son when his son was retelling the story, so he gave him a fist bump to celebrate.
His wife asked what the bully’s name was, and they revealed it to her. His wife then went on social media to find the kid.
“My wife got very upset, citing she knows his mom, and scolded my son to not fight back because the bully is autistic,” he added.
He overrode his wife and informed his son that he shouldn’t allow anyone to treat him poorly, regardless of whether they’re autistic or not.
His wife argued that it was not alright because of the bully’s autism, but he responded that it didn’t matter; autism doesn’t give the bully the freedom to be a jerk to anybody.
“I stressed that he is making our son feel like crap and that if our son sends him home crying, so be it,” he continued.
“It’ll be a valuable life lesson that what goes around comes around.”
Since his wife wasn’t on his side, he’s left wondering if it’s wrong of him to support his son in standing up for himself against his autistic bully.
