On Friday I recived a call from the principal of Skylers school saying that he was sent to see her because he was talking back to his teacher. Not like Skyler at all. She didn't even know him after being in the school for two years. He's never been in trouble. So She let me talk to Skyler who was by then crying.
Skyler told me he was having problems getting his shoes on and getting organized. His teacher told him to move his desk and he responded.... I'm fine right here. Well that set his teacher off and he sent him to tha office. I guess he has been seeing what I have been seeing and had had enough. With Skyler's ADHD and Aspergers he can be a hand full. He is on medication and it works well for his ADHD but there is no magic pill for Aspergers. He is not good with change and when the teacher said move your desk it sent him into a tailspin.
So we desided to let him stay in the office till he calmed down and then try to send him back to his class. If he couldn't do that I would pick him up. He was able to stay for the day. Which is good. So we talked that night and asked him what was going on. He's not wanting to get out of bed to go to school. Never been a problem before. He told me that he is having problems with a kid in his class making fun of him and tripping and shoving him. Also some problems with kids on the playground.
So I called the school this morning and they said they would look into it. Its hard with Skyler because that scoial cues everyone has like teasing out of fun or saying its one thing when it clearly is another Skyler doesn't understand. Its either black or white with him. He is a great kid but has little friends because it is hard for him to fit in with other kids. He doesn't know when they are making fun of him and he thinks they are his friends.
Skyler will always struggle in life with fitting in but as long as he is happy that is all that matters.
