Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So here's the situation. A kid who I'm fairly familiar with at my old high school is autistic. I was always nice to him and we even joked around every now and then. 

I'm in study hall and he walks up and the first thing he says is "move your hand". I told him I wasn't gonna do that.

He slams his book as hard as he could onto my hand. I told him to stop that or I was gonna have to tell his teacher who usually walks around with him. I have a decent pain tolerance but it did have a bit of sting behind it.

He does it again but harder. I grab the book he was using to hit me with and lightly push it away and tell him I was going to get his teacher. He tries it again. I grab push it away a second time mid swing and as I'm going to get up to find his teacher some 7 foot tall football starts yelling at me across the room.

"Yo stop bullying him he has special needs!"

"He was hitting me with his bo-"

"I know what I saw stop messing with him or I'm gonna beat your ass!"

A teacher eventually defused the Guy, got both sides of our story, and made sure that the special needs kid was separated and that the football player and I would drop it.

Perhaps I shouldn't of pushed it away, but in no way was I forceful and I honestly didn't want to have to get the kid in trouble. 

So Reddit, AITA?
