Autistic Child Gets Attacked At School And The School Won’t Do Anything About It

my child has recently got attacked by a girl in her year due to my child asking her a question on her presentation. this girl proceeded to go for my child and attempt to push her which almost ended up with her falling down stairs if she did not keep her balance. my child’s body shut down and went straight into a meltdown once she realized what happened. the school are not taking it in mind that my child is autistic and can not cope with people shouting, especially in her face. people touching her and too much going on at once that it is too overwhelming. this girl is not getting a big punishment and we as parents want to fight for our daughter as no one should get away with doing that to an autistic child like this girl has. any advice???

Parents
  • Do you want the girl punished or do you want the problem fixed? If the latter wouldn't restorative justice be more productive? Make her apologise. Make her sit down for 10 minuets and listen to how what she did made your child feel. Put her on wanting about your child's needs.

    What are the school actually doing?
