Hi, I have posted before about my dd inappropriately touching a boy at school, school did some work with her using social stories but today I got another phone call to say she has done it again. She attends a sn school, has ASD and severe communication issues, the boy in question is apparently her boyfriend. She’s 13. School seemed to have it under control and it’s been a few months since the last incident.
I am very concerned, mainly because my dd has not been exposed to this kind of behaviour, we are a all female household (me, her and her elder sister), she doesn’t watch tv and has not had access to the internet for quite a while, I’m worried about where she has seen this behaviour. I will be talking to her when she gets home but she’s likely to shout at me and refuse to listen, her communication skills are pretty poor anyway and she has selective mutism as well as speech delay.
I fought hard for a place at this school (tribunal, went to panel many times) and it’s the only school within a 30 mile radius that can support her needs. If I take her out I don’t really have any options.
School are saying they will be doing more work with her using social stories and a male teacher will be doing work with her
.
We have a social worker who is aware of the last incident and didn’t think it was anything to worry about and assured me that it’s normal behaviour for teenagers but it doesn’t seem normal to me when mentally she’s a lot younger and immature.
