I am so fed up with school transport lately. My 4 year old ds has autism, and all the sensory issues that go along with it. He can't stand to be touched, expecially on his head. Across the road is a little boy who is very impulsive and also goes on the same bus to the same school. He has lately taken a liking to my son, probably because we live so close, and also because he sees him on the bus every day. I think this is nice, and quite like the boy who depsite his behavioural problems is a friendly and energetic boy. However my ds is not so active not so strong, and finds this boy distressing , and gets upset if he comes close.
Now this boy wants to sit next to my ds on the bus. The first time, I had a word with the escort and explained the problem, who then seperated them. Well the next day the boy's mother got extremely upset and started shouting and screaming at the busdriver and escort about the incident, and applied pressure to allow her boy to sit with mine. The next day, I saw her son hitting my ds on the head and my ds was crying. Not the boy's fault because he does not understand about his behaviour. So I phoned transport and complained, it turns out the boy's mother has also phoned transport and kicked up a fuss about her son's rights. She has also started a campaign about us in the neighbourhood, saying that we are disablist!
I am so stress about this, and do not know how to deal with this issue. Part of me thinks, F her and her son's needs, my ds deserves a stress-free journey to school. She is very unreasonable and highly emotional, she could have just spoken to me.
Am really fed up!
