My 9 yr old child is autistic. He's high functioning and school is a stressful place for him.
He cannot sit on a school chair. He would rather stand up or sit on the table.
I bought him a 'wobble cushion', It's rubber inflated thing with bobbles on. Looks uncomfy but he likes it and he's sitting on a chair at the table. Yahooooo.
We've only had it at school since last week. It works for him. He is sitting ( and working!).
Today the boy sat next to him removed it, hid it from my son and didn't hand it back when my son asked where was it. There are some issues between my son and this boy.
The other boy stamped on it, jumped up and down on it and broke it.
My son told the teacher who said she would deal with it.
Teacher never mentioned anything when I collected my son. I don't expect to hear how they are dealing with the other child. But would expect them to mention it is broken and my son now doesn't have something to sit on.. I guess I have to get a replacement ( grrr).
I am a bit annoyed. But I am very tired from lack of sleep so that could colour my usual reasonable attitude.
Would you speak to the teacher? Or let this one go?
