DS1 (10) has ASD. Just had his teacher call me over for a chat at the end of the day to say that there'd been an incident in PE before lunch and he'd spent quite a bit of the afternoon off timetable on his beanbag (he sits and reads/colours to regulate himself). We walked his friend home because of the wind, and he's told me that one of the girls in their class had been doing exaggerated impressions of DS stimming and shouting "He's a flappy little spastic".
I'm absolutely fuming! I mean, what the actual fuck? Who uses that word anymore?! She's obviously learned it at home, and I just want to grab her parents and show them the reality of what words like that can do and shake some bloody sense into them . DS has been completely non-verbal since we got home, he's stimming like mad, and he's bitten his lips to bloody shreds.
I know school will have come down on the girl like a tonne of bricks, and that they'll have spoken to her parents, but I'm just so heartbroken for my boy
