My Daughter Stood up for a Classmate Being Bullied, School Involved.

[Rozlee]

36. I have a grandson who has autism as well.

His problem is that at times, he's withdrawn. Other times, he lashes out and has struck out at classmates and teachers. Sometimes, he's been the victim and other times, he's been the bully when he's hit other children. The police were called in once when he threw some scissors at a vice principle and started a rampage in her office. Some medications they've put him on have zombified him, which is terrible because he has an extremely high IQ and is in the talented and gifted program. But, overall, no medication and counseling therapy is working. I'm really afraid for him, but I know that the school has to consider the primary safety of its staff and the other students as well as accommodating him. Many psychologists say that he'll probably outgrow this stage and is just overwhelmed with the multi-tasking school involves since his brain is designed to be more single-minded.
