Hi-Great comments and pretty much all things I tried to explain to him. I only mention the ASD so commenters realize why this is a bigger deal to him than someone who is neurotypical. I know he is not entitled to anything additional due to his disability, just to help understand why it is a problem for him. Dad and I feel the $44 was reasonable. Stickers were not his style, I asked him about signing a waiver and suggested that it is a lesson to all of us to specifically request careful handling if he needs to have it repaired somewhere else again. It is a year old and dad and I said we need a new laptop anyway and would be glad to take it and buy him a new one. I think he needs time to calm down and I told him to let this be his dad and my problem and he should think about other things like finals this week and graduating on Saturday. Things like things can be extra upsetting to him because he is on the spectrum. The fact that he is graduating in 4 years with an ASD diagnosis and chronic illness shows to me how much progress he has made over the years and I don’t want this one set back to unravel him. I was reaching out to this site to see if anyone would find this response ($44) unreasonable and it appears that as far as I can tell, the average neurotypical person would not pursue anything further. I don’t want to diminish his feelings because they are real, but didn’t know if others would feel like he was due more compensation. I agree, that I would just move on.
