I am borderline Aspergers mysef, and had a terrible time in school with verbal bullying. At the same time, I was the only refuge (in seventh grade) one particularly afflicted boy had in a classroom where the teacher did nothing about the bullying that was blatantly obvious and occurring during classroom instruction time (and not just free socializing time.
Anyway, I've been dreading sending my own kids to school since I have no idea how to head off the bullying if it happens that they're not particularly good at socializing. I am very interested to know about what the principal did on a schoolwide basis as well as what worked for your son individually.
Thanks for taking the time to process all these ideas and write them. I know from experience that it's a difficult and time consuming process.
thanks and keep it up
