getting fired by a 10 year old



So it's a good thing that he wants me fired because i want to quit. i make it sound like it's a high paying job where i did something horribly wrong, but the reality of it is that he didn't want to do his homework.

he has high funcitoning autism and i thought we had gotten past the whole "i'm testing you to see how much i can get away with" phase, but i guess not. it is hard because with his syndrome, he is quite intelligent, but lacks emotional maturity so he does things like hit and kick me, which happened tonight, again.

i get shaken with every argument, with every punch and i have come to this point now where i must say, "your son wants me fired, and i do believe that i should respect his wishes." i just don't want to drive all the way from Toronto next Thursday to be faced with getting attacked again.

so that is where i stand. right now, he is downstairs waiting for his mother to come home because "if he stays up, it is more likey that you'll be fired". so i'm trying to kill an hour before his mom comes home and i can leave.

the worst part of it is not the fact that he attacked me again, it's the fact that he will feel very proud of himself when i never come back.
