[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 481941, member: 1550"] Well, I'm the odd man/woman out again. It sounds to me like this kid was as socially clueless as your son if he called your son a "dummy" right in front of you. Most kids know better. Also sounds to me like your son, if he does not "get" that being called names is socially inappropriate, may well be on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) spectrum, diagnosis or not. My son IS on the spectrum and if he is called a name he knows it's not appropriate and he always knew. However, there IS the possibility that he was goofing around. If so, I would think he'd do it with a grin, good-naturedly or laughing. What do you think his tone was like? Like the others said, there is a lot of horsing around among kids. Now about the teachers: Does your son have an IEP? If not, don't expect them to do anything unless it is in their line of sight or sound. However, it's not clear to me if your son is in a regular school or some sort of special school for children with special needs. If he is in a specialized school then indeed it was inappropriate for the staff not to pay attention to your concerns. Please keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
