[quote=Anonymous][quote]Does he/she try to get to know them? When he/she sees them eating alone at lunch, having no one to talk to at recess, do they shrug their shoulders and ignore or do they try to include them in a game or play? Do they speak kindly to them in group activities? [/quote]

OP,
Parents at home do not know how their child behaves when they are not present.  I was a teacher.  I understand your concerns about your child and I sympathize, but most kids are worried about their own need for friends.  They are worried about who they are going to play with. That is just a fact.  Seldom do kids at recess plot out who is going to play with them--it is pretty much spontaneous.  Do you want the teacher to pick out a child to help your son?  She could do that--but will that make him accepted?  Or, will it make him a burden?  I guess I'm having a hard time picturing the child eating alone at lunch because most schools don't have that kind of space.  
I would hope that the teacher would try to include your son in groups and activities and to be treated politely.  You also mentioned that others talk over him.  That is not acceptable--but does he listen to others?  Is it possible that he is not considerate of them?  I understand that he has needs--but other kids do, as well.

Also, on the lip balm thing--you said he spread it all over his own paper--was it a paper to be turned in?  As a teacher, I would find that unacceptable.
