[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I certainly want my kids to be nice to everyone and I wish you the best but  you need to recognize that your child's behavior affects his ability to form relationships. Yes the teachers and kids should all be sensitive but you need to encourage, bribe, cajole (whatever it takes) into not doing tasks that make him stand out particularly if he continues to do them into adulthood. So no smearing lip balm on paper, no taking it out and sniffing it. I have a 5 year old who sometimes picks his boogers and eats them. It is disgusting. I tell him that no one will be his friend in kindergarten if he does that then I make him wash his hands. I used to teach first grade and I know this behavior would get him teased. Instead of me insisting that everyone should be sensitive to his needs, it is up to me to make sure he stops this behavior. If an adult at work or on an airplane seat next to you were smearing something scented on an object and smelling it you would want to move your seat or not work with the person.[/quote]

...and still, so many comments about the lip balm, but not much mention of the exclusion and disrespect and bullying that OP's child has gone through. I find bullying and teasing more objectionable than the smell of lip balm. [/quote]
