[quote=Anonymous]Special needs mom here. If another child is mean to your child, you deal with the meanness and the comment said. The child does not get a pass because he/she has special needs. Separately from that, if your child has questions about autism, great for you to want to answer them clearly and truthfully, but this particular situation should be dealt with like any other school incident. "Larla, I don't like it when you call me "Shorty." It hurts my feelings. Please don't do it again." Telling your child that kids with special needs are excused from behavioral norms does everyone a disservice. It's condescending to special needs kids and reinforces the myth that special needs is some kind of Get Out of Jail Free Card, which fosters resentment.[/quote]
