AITA for not letting an autistic boy play with my nintendo switch?

So today was the last day of school before carnival holiday, great right? So I’ve brought my nintendo switch to play Mario Kart, Just dance,etc. So I’ve set the thing up and asked around who wants to play. I’ve given 3 people a joy con and he asked after we’ve started the 1st grand prix if he can play. I said yes later. And he kept asking all the time. Oskar can I play now? Can I now? Can I?

At that point I was fed up and so happy that the bell rang for our 1st break. Then I’ve put just dance on and he threw a tantrum cause he wasn’t able to play. He went to my bag and tried to rummage it and I said:" Bruno stop" He tried to push me and I just yelled at him:"Don’t touch me you fucking asshole. I can’t have that you ask me 3000 times if you can play. that’s why I’ve put the damn Mario Kart away.

A teacher deescalated the situation by saying no one is allowed to play, until my class teacher said we are allowed to play. autistic boy way then sitting in the corner and just sulking.

But my perspective: We’ve had just dance and mario kart strictly planned because the boys wanted mario kart and the girls just dance. And because of 1 person we all agreed on not opent MK again

(EDIT)

We made pre fixed teams and asked him. The convo went smth like that:

We asked:do you want to play MK?

he said:" I don’t want to play."

And asked:" are you sure?"

And he said:"yes,I am sure"

So we didn’t we write him in any scheduel

  1. It’s pretty clear you never intended to let this guy play with you and your friends so why did you say yes? You all sound young and this kid is autistic and isn’t understanding that your “yes later” was actually a no. YTA for not being honest up front. 

    1. If this is the case then yeah a common mistake but you need to be honest and tell people no instead of telling them “later” and then silently removing that promise later because they’re annoying you. Something like “please stop asking over and over. If you continue to bug me then I might not want to play anymore”
