Hi I would welcome advice on a tricky matter a cousin and neighbours child who is in school with my son has been picking on and bullying him in a very subtle ways.This has been happening on and off for a number of years and the school response has been less then good. My son has high functioning autism and a sentive and gentle nature and finds it very upsetting. Recently they( the cousin and 2 other girls) seemed to insinuate to my son that he was in trouble for touching an other girl in the class ( he was trying to get her attention and the back of her top went up. The incident was investigated by the school when I brought it to there attention as the 3 girls told my son he was in trouble and told others in the class he had been touching the girl). My son has very upset but felt that it was been dealt with and that finally the school were addressing the situation. The neighbours/cousin has been inviting my son and his siblings to there house for a play but I have been making excuses as feel it's better to keep our distances. My cousin(the mother)wants to talk. I have been keeping my distance from her as I have been feeling so angry and feel it was better then talking to them as I tried before and they minimised what was happening.i have properly come across as a bit frosty. I don't want to get into a big thing with them as I could impact on the wider family but I don't want my kids mixing with this child. Any advice how to keep the peace and boundaries too. Thanks
