Hello,
I wonder if anyone has any experience of their ASD child being targeted by another ASD child in SEN school.
My son is now suicidal after months of name-calling, being targeted in play, threatened with being physically hurt, actually being physically hurt, being excluded from invitations etc,
School are failing to recognise this behaviour as bullying. They have yet to explain why, but I expect it will be something along the lines of it’s not intentional. The children are high functioning and the class teacher and class staff have tried so much to get the boy to stop. Nothing works.
So my question is - is this bullying? The effects on my son are the same. He is frightened of this boy and deserves a safe environment. Can a child with ASD really not recognise or learn that their behaviour is wrong and must stop. The boy is also manipulative and tells lies. School know this.
thanks for reading and for any thoughts.
