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,

    sorry I haven't responded sooner been unable to get online for a while.

    this is very heartbreaking, I hope the drawing worked for you and your son it's really helped my daughter, I also got a big box for her to decorate and it's a worries box the will draw and put them in the box this helps alleviate some anxieties she may have.

    I am aware that what started as a tiny problem in the morning will be huge by the time she returns home from school and that's when meltdown occurs due to feeling safe and secure with her parents, so this is where the drawing really seemed to help as it has taught my daughter how she could respond or react better in situations that she don't like and that's without us parents giving her the answer, which I am certain all parents want to do is protect their children and fix the problem for them.

    children will be more real in front of those they feel safe around, and my daughter is usually exhausted after school due to wearing a big smiley mask, this is why it's a battle getting the teachers to listen as they believe she is fine yet I know she is crumbling inside.

    stay strong and work together :-)
