Along the way, I met many people who took the time to read and comment and some shared their stories with me. I am grateful for all the support and advice I have received since then. But I digress.
I must have commented and updated about the bullying incident since then, but I had to make it a separate post, just to put the period at the end of the story.
I am happy to say, the bullying and the hush whispers regarding the incident has disappeared. The mediation session provided by the wonderful counselors did wonders to squash any rumors that remained.
He became close with the girl from the incident. Now, they can truly be described as friends and she is one of his best advocates in school. She even came to his birthday party, although, she felt a little uncomfortable making eye contact with me, I didn't push it. I was just glad that ALL his friends came to his party even though I questioned how many would show (inside me of course).
I still, like many parents aspie/NT alike, pay close attention and feel for anyone facing any kind of bullying. I am just happy our story has a happy ending which led to many friendships. I can only hope many parents won't have to deal with anything like bullying.
Recently I have begin the process of having my son evaluated for Asperger's. I wont know more until the beginning of March.. Can you please suggust any good sites to obtain information about Asperger's? I would appreciate any feedback you are willing to give. I followed you on my previous twitter account and thought you would be a great source to help us better understand the situation.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
If you click on SOS parent button, it will lead you to a great informative site. Autism speaks is another good one. If you can tweet me, I can ask my tweeps for more suggestions. Let me know. :))

ReplyDeleteI don't know how I managed to miss these last few posts. . .
ReplyDeleteSounds like a more or less happy ending to the bullying situation. That's awesome!
