Hi new here... just saw my son bullied

Kat2013

Hi Im Kat

Feeling frustrated and upset I have no one in my friendship circle who understands

I have a son of 8 who has Autism... he attends a mainstream school and wanted to join the after school club I went to sign him up and while we were there I heard a boy in his year say to a goup of boys...

"yuk look its him, what is he doing here who said he could come that dumb boy"

his friends told him to be queit coz his mum was there and that he shouldnt say it in front of me...

So now I feel crushed, angry and torn because I dont know what happensd when I'm not around

and my son doesnt really understand when people are mean to him he wouldnt even realise unless it was physicalSealed

 I'm contemplating putting him in a special school I just dont want him picked on... any thoughts or comments welcome

  • Hi Kat,

    i have had a similar situation as your sons with my 7year old daughter, she has constantly been called names for a while now, I worked with my daughter through drawing as she loves anything to do with art and when she describes the picture I listened for any feeling words, the picture represents the child and the feelings are their own ones.

    I feel sad for your son children can be so cruel and do not seem to know the damage they can cause to another child's confidence self esteem, the teacher need to be made aware of this by you and always trust your gut instincts, I hope this matter gets resolved.
