Advice on handling a time-out report from school

My DS 8 (AS) has brought home a time out note for bad behaviour today. I asked him what happened and he was v tearful. At lunchtime he felt like he needed some time on his own so he went to the toilet and then to a quiet area. Two boys from his year shouted in his ears repeatedly "what's wrong" which obv made him upset and he lashed out. Whilst he understands he was wrong to lash out, the other two boys were not told off and put all the blame on DS. I have to sign the form and he has to take it in to the school office. Would i be unreasonable to make a point that DS obv felt out of sorts so tried to be alone to feel better and that the behaviour of the other boys caused DS to be upset. Hope this makes sense!

No you wouldnt be unreasonable. I would right a note accompanying it with DS version of events just incase he is made a target of if it was that easy for the boys to get him into trouble with no blame.

You can put that you support that lashing out is unacceptable and DS accepts this but................and so on :)

What coff33pot said.
Also does he have sensory problems with sound? Point out how painful that would be to someone with these issues and how cruel the other boys were being - it would be horrible even if you didn't have sound issues anyway.
Ask why the other boys are not being punished for such behaviour too?
