[QUOTE="PlainJane, post: 634580, member: 11700"] Midwest mom, thank you so much for your reply. It is very helpful. Yes, my son is not a mean person. Its so hard to explain. I have tried to look as some of his actions from a different perspective lately. Often he appears to pick on his brother my twisting or rhyming his works (like his brother will say "I'm superman" and difficult child might say "what? you're super monkey" or "what? you're super can?" and difficult child is laughing and my other son is getting so mad. We ask difficult child why he does that and he says he's being funny. And when we point out that no one is laughing and that his brother is showing signs of annoyance (we go over those signs ever time) difficult child get upset...like he really didn't realized it wasn't "funny"... Its that kind of stuff that can easily be taken as him teasing, but it really seems to be more lack of reading social cues. Anyway, thank you again for your post. I will be taking difficult child to school tomorrow and talking with the principal. difficult child goes to a pretty crumby school (we will be moving as soon as we can, might be a few years though) and while his previous principal and vice principal knew difficult child (in a school of 1200 kids) because of the past bus issues and bullying...both were replaced over the summer (management is constantly changing, this school's staff is unstable) so now I have to start all over again and hope the new management isn't going to make this any harder than it already is.
