My child is 8. He is part of a club that he does once or twice a week. He loves it and is really happy there, has lots of friends etc. There is another 8 year old child there that a lot of people have an issue with as he is incredibly mean to other children. He has his own friends, but for some reason has singled my child out as the one he can be really mean to. My son is diagnosed with autism but is high functioning and generally gets along with everyone. He is also incredibly sensitive to rejection so there is some of that at play too. The other child is constantly telling my son he is stupid, rubbish at the club activity, has pushed him physically. I just don't know what to do anymore. It is such a niche club and he absolutely adores it, I don't think he would forgive me if we stopped going. The other parents are not open to discussion. The club leader is unlikely to do anything as hasn't witnessed any of this as it is all done so on the sly. I talked to her about it and she just said she would keep an eye out. I tell him to just walk away when this child starts being mean but he won't, he will lash out (verbally) and tell him he's an idiot for calling him names. I don't know how to repair it or if I even can. Other parents have talked about this child and how difficult he is, and it just feels really uncomfortable. Like everyone knows there's an issue but nobody will do anything about it. Just so fed up and don't know what to do.
