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

  • I would seriously recommend you invetigate special schools now before he gets to secondary age. You need a statement of special needs. In my experience mainstream can work at primary level if managed well but secondary is a whole new ball game ans I would not send m child to a mainstream one if you paid me - the misery it caused was dreadful and we will suffer for years to come from the fallout of that.  This is partly down to late diagnosis - very long story....but settledmin special school now thank goodness.
