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.

It is the school's responsibility to ensure that your son has the support he needs both in and outside the classroom to manage the challenges presented by his autism.
Clearly, the other child is a challenge that he cant currently handle. The school needs to put measures in place to support your son with his disability. Does your son have a statement of SEN? If not, you might want to think about discussing this with the school.
