Hey guys. Is it just me or are our ASD kids more forgiving than the ones not on the spectrum? My son has been pullied for almost four years and yet he's willing to forgive the bullies citing that "they just didn't know they were hurting me". His sister has kicked him in the privates (we're dealing with some anger issues atm with her) and he told me "but I love her Mama." One hour after a huge fight, all is forgiven with him, including Mom embarrassing him in public and yet the other kids in the neighborhood take 24 hours to forgive.

Victor's always been aware that he's different. He doesnt put up with being bullied but he does forgive them after he's defended himself. Whether it is his differences from knowing he didn't fit it just right, or it's his own personal nature, I pray every night that he never loses it.

My nt dd (7) is like that. Hayden hits her, and IF I punish him, she gets upset with me, b/c she just loves him,lol. She is like this with kids at school too. I kinda wish she wouldn't be so tolerable.

Mike is definitely once over the upset and in a good place. That kid just forgets what he was mad about and everything is fine once again.

Yup, mine are. Of course, they're quicker to anger, too, but they're definitely quicker to forgive (which is why they have a hard time with the idea that I'm still annoyed about how they just treated me when they're busy trying to snuggle).

Yep, my son is super forgiving too.....he will remember the weirdest stuff, but then again I do that too.
