Daughter doesn't like male teachers

ParentingAutism

Hi, we are having many issues in school but I'm not going to discuss those today. Basically, my 15 y.o daughter doesn't like being around male teachers. She was fine when she first joined but now, especially this week, she has refused anything to do with the males. 1 issue we had was yesterday when she went out for a walk with a male maths teacher and she basically took him for a run round the city centre before chilling on a motorway footpath bridge. 

I don't know why this behavior has started but it seems to be getting worse every day.

    Sounds like she's up to her old tricks of manipulating the teachers so she is in control of the situation.   The teachers are compelled to ensure her safety - and she's abusing the privilege it gives her.

    No idea how to stop it - she seems to be revelling in the fact that rules don't apply to her.     Hopefully, she'll get bored with it and eventually understand that she's wasting the time she could be better utilising.

    Thanks it could be, but now we believe it is more of a fear. She won't even be left alone with her step dad who is friendly. Even when a male teacher walks down the corridor she suddenly runs from the area or she pushes her body right up the wall with fear in her face so they have more room to walk past. We have now removed all male staff from her timetable and she is doing better but still got issues to work out. Even in public, if she sees a male on the street, she will immediately cross the road or go a different way, even if I'm there with her. She does show signs of anxiety when she sees a man for some reason. Don't know what has triggered it but I'm sure it's not manipulating. I think she's got bored of the manipulating because I wasn't giving her attention for it so thanks for that advice. I still ignore her when she crosses the road and the behavior.
