Firstly, sorry if this seems above my purview. Also, if you're wondering how I know of your account and who you are, I too have messaged Love Robin here about stuff related to poohadventures.wikia.com, and happened to notice your message on her wall once.

Now to business. I understand that your son David is, too discreetly and politely put it, not neurotypical. I have encountered David on Pooh's Adventures Wiki before, and have done my best to keep this in mind so I don't behave inappropriately. I also understand that those on the spectrum often have trouble comprehending others' views or attitudes, and this is why often times it seems as they are behaving in an aloof or rude manner, especially online where the only context is usually just what one wrote.

I am also an admin at www.jadensadventures.wikia.com, a wiki that operates much like Pooh's Adventures Wiki. Most of the other admins there (while wonderful people whose company I genuinely enjoy), are barely on the spectrum and occasionally act erratically (blocking users for small things, not responding to messages right away, not explaining why certain things are against the rules, etc.), although I'm not sure if the two are even related. I try to balance this out. There was a small misunderstanding between one of them and David over uploading an image without adding it to a page, and I tried to intervene (in this case, it wasn't erratic behavior so much as the person in question's job at Target has kept them busy and unable to reply). I explained to David that he needed to create the page for the character the image was depicting so that the image will have a destination, and he understood and promised to do so.

However, another issue regarding editing a page (short version: this wiki is less of a wiki and more of a place where people can write "adventure stories", script-based fanfiction. Some characters are heavily involved in peoples' "adventure series" and asking the user who is in charge of the series before editing the character's page is generally a good idea. This isn't written down anywhere, so it's not David's fault that he failed to follow this unspoken policy.) arose, and while attempting to explain to him that he needed permission, he began behaving rudely. I asked him to stop, but he responded that since most people act rude, it was perfectly okay. This sparked a debate on rudeness that was inconclusive.

I'd appreciate it if you could talk to him about behaving politely on Jaden's Adventure's Wiki, as rude behavior would lead to blocks there, and I don't like that idea. You can view the discussion (in a back-and-forth manner given the fragmented nature of talk pages) at his talk page here, and here on my talk page. (On mine you'll have to scroll down for a sec before his messages become visible, again the result of the way talk pages work. Apologies.) The conversation starts with my message on his wall, and 'ping-pongs' between our pages from there on.

Again, sorry if contacting you seems like something that's "not my business" or anything, I just wished to keep him from getting blocked and he is probably more willing to listen to you than me. Also, sorry for leaving this incredibly long message.
