DS10 has ASD, very high functioning, recently as I’ve posted here before about it he’s been having problems with one of the boys he used to be friends with. It’s been going on a year but has got worse the last few weeks. The boy is a bit of a loner and sometimes so is my DS, most of the time he plays with his close circle of friends though and this boy will not leave him alone, screaming in his ear, pushing, taking things off him and then running to the teacher acting like a victim. He’s caused my son to have several meltdowns at school the last few weeks causing all sorts of havoc. We spoke with his teachers and the deputy head and SEN teacher have put an email to keep them away from each other which is fine, they swapped my son to a different sports day group. Get a call today asking if I could meet my son at school as opposed to halfway like normal as he had an accident in swimming, nothing bad just banged into someone. Get to school to find out it’s said boy who apparently saw my son behind him and launched backwards knocking in to DS who now has a massive gash on his forehead. They shouldn’t have even been together in the first place but he’s just finds a way to irritate my DS. DP went mental and called the school, deputy head is now pissed with swimming teacher for putting them together and it looks like it all gonna kick off tomorrow. Surely more punishment should be issued for the boy as nothing’s been done.
Sorry it’s a long one, just need an outsiders perspective so as not to go completely insane.
