He said he was already wet so he didn't need to stay out of the water.
He was totally serious, that is what he really thought. He was sooo mad at the teacher that made him stay in.

We had a huge meeting at school today and several times someone had to point out to the teacher, does she think Stephen realizes that you can't make comments about people, do you think Stephen KNOWS what to do in social situations? The answer was no, I'm hoping by the end of it she's caught on!
Sara or I would have put him in a short timeout maybe 3 mins for hitting and then made him go to music class which is what he didn't want to do. Making him follow through is what teaches him to do what he has to do not putting him in disgrace because he doesn't understand disgrace. It is meaningless to him.
