I'm in a bit of a funk at the minute, my daughter has just phoned and told me that there was an incident of bullying with my eldest g.son yesterday. He has just turned 12 and I think I've mentioned previously that he's on the Asbergers' spectrum but quite low down on the scale, he goes to a mainstream school. He is very clever academically but has poor co-ordination so is not very good at sports and p.e etc. He's very gentle and caring boy and is just gorgeous. Yesterday at lunch time he was desperate to go the toilet, he went to the little boys room and a bigger lad blocked him, dancing in front of him and goading him and just wouldn't let him pass, which resulted in my grandson wetting himself. I could cry. My daughter has emailed his head of year and has phoned the school and will not let this matter drop till its sorted. Honestly, if people only knew the battle we had to get him to ever use the toilet in the first place, he had a fear of toilets until he was about 7.
Sorry but I needed to get that off my chest.
