can't win - need to let off steam

like the title says really, my son seems to be increasingly hard to communiucate with , without him blowing up into a mad emotional volcanco.

he seems to be stuck on a 'you're moaning' ,'you're shouting' im not happy' tearer mode...

he/we are in this cycle where he says he avoids me by doing his own thing - yet he always has done his own project thing as you can't  get him away from it[ well with extreme difficulty]

yet at he same time tells me its because i moan !!!! at him all the time - unfortunatley he doesnt hear the general chat;questions etc ...only the point wher ei am frustrated.

school isnt helping as i have just found out that they havent initiated any action plus programme nor got any statement done for him[take in mind i had a discussion on the 8th september about this with the sen teacher] - hence why i want him to change schools because they are c###

he was told by the teaching assistant his self harming has nothing to do with autism -every body is responsible for their actions'!!!!!!!!!!

i tell ya if i heard i wouldnt have been responsible for my actions...........any way i will cut the rant out or else i will use or your web space 

thanks for listening guys

  • There is a useful book on bullying, if you can get hold of a copy: Nick Dubin 2007 "Asperger Syndrome and Bullying - Strategies & Solutions" Jessica Kingsley Publishers (NAS I hope can send you details).

    I mention this book because it deals with teacher bullying as well as bullying by peers.

    Despite always being tall for my age I was bullied throughout school because I could be incited to over-react, and provide entertainment.

    Some teachers also bullied. I suffered particularly badly from one teacher who saw joining in picking on the class retard as a way of achieving popularity with my peers. Some of his spiteful tricks still haunt me.

    Because school is out of adult sight (and still it seems often out of teachers' sight) a lot of terrible things happen to any child who is weak or vulnerable. If the teachers at your son's school are really so immature and unprofessional as to participate in bullying, there may be wider issues here - possibly a need for tougher government inspection.

    The school needs to be challenged over this, but if you are feeling angry you need someone to act for you.
