Is this normal?

Hi,

There have been couple of occasions that my DS came home with cuts on his clothing from school. Does it pose any serious problem? He has ASC and sensory issues.
What approach shall I take when talking to school if need be? Shouldn't they be reporting it to me as a parent?

How old is he ?
Do you think the school even knew about the cuts? They can't report what they don't know about.

How verbal is he? Has he told you if he did it, or if someone else did it?

Does he struggle with wearing the clothes that were cut? (Is he trying to loosen a cuff or collar or to cut a label or seam out, for example ?)

Thank you for your reply.
He is 5 and it's the front of the jumper that was cut. Yes school teacher knew but didn't report it to me. He is verbal but only tells what is asked. He liked the jumper because it was his favourite.
He told me that he was working with scissors and he cut the jumper too.
My issue is the reporting from school.

How do you know they knew, if they didn't report it to you ?

I'd say yes, ideally, if they knew, they should have said something to you, but sometimes other, more pressing emergencies have come to the fore since it happened.
If you are asking for advice as to how you might teach him it isn't an appropriate thing to do, that is one thing, but are you saying your biggest issue is that you found out by seeing the jumper, rather than being told specifically ? Hmm

Sorry, you totally misunderstood my point.
