School bullies

Helen

My 7 year old son goes to an all boys school. He’s high functioning autistic and up to now we’ve had few issues at school. He doesn’t have any firm friend but he’s ok. 
but since year 3 started 4 children are now being physical and verbally bullying to him. He’s then lashing out and pushing and hitting back. This is happening most days. 
I have a meeting with the school tomorrow. I know he’s doing it because he’s feeling threatened. The school say they can’t separate them in the playground. What else can I ask them to do to help him feel safe at school and prevent these outbursts?

  • Dealing with bullying is a very complex and difficult situation.  Doing nothing is bad, doing the wrong thing can make the situation worse.

    I remember a TV program where a policeman advised a boy to face up to the bullies and stop being a doormat. So the boy took a brick and smashed the bully over the head with it.  That obviously escalated the situation.  And the bullied is now the aggressor with a criminal record.
