Hating another child.

My son is 5 is in year 1 and has Aspergers. A new child recently started my sons class he is from another country and speaks another language.

In my sons words he 'hates' this boy he says he 'doesn't understand'. My sons teacher is very good and we chat twice a day. She tells me that my son won't stay away from the other boy. Last week he hit the boy in the playground.

He has become obsessed with hating this boy. He sees him as a real nemesis.

I have told my son to play with others instead but his teacher says he keeps approaching this one boy.

Any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Nic.

  • This must be really hard for you.  It can be so frustrating as a Mum feeling you cannot do anything when it is all happening at school.

    Are you in contact with a Speech and Langauge Therapist? Some are specialists in social communication. They can do some amazing things with visual activities to overcome whatever your son is finding difficult about the situation.  They may even be able to advise you or his teacher of activities you could do if they are not free as we all know how precious their time is these days. 

    Just a thought. Good luck
