You need to talk with the teacher. It's not uncommon for other kids to pick up on issues with self-control, and try to provoke outbursts because they think it's funny. It's bullying because this other kid is deliberately trying to upset your child and get him to react inappropriately. It happens a lot to kids with ADHD and ASD. [/quote]

Oops sorry- looks like you have already talked with the teacher. I think if the other kid is still doing it, the teacher should make him stop. If that doesn't happen, I would elevate it. It's pretty important to make the point that your DS is being deliberately provoked. I've heard of bullying situations where the school did not take a proactive approach and the "bullied" becomes physical and gets into significant trouble. BTW if my DS was provoking a kid in any situation, but especially a child who struggles some, I would be pissed. Not all parents turn a blind eye to this either. [/quote]

OP:  Thanks, this is what I'm worried about.  Him having an extreme reaction.  Today he said the other kid was poking out his tongue and making fun because his snack was bigger than my child's.  Luckily he didn't react and said he ignored him which is good.  I'll talk to the teacher again and loop in the counselor.  [/quote]
