Hi this is only my second time writing but I need some advice. I

have a 10 year old son who has Aspergers/Bi-polar. He currently

attends a behavioral school with about 9 students. He was placed in

the school due to him fighting me to attend school and the public

school not helping me to much. There are days I regret having him

put in this school because he is not a behavioral problem, but more

of the sensory overload, the understanding and the basics with

Asperger's children.

Well my question or would like some advice on is my son has some

strong dislike towards elderly women, especially ones with gray

hair. Well his school has a foster grandma who helps out and my son

dislikes her. Not because she is mean or had done anything to him,

just that she is old. Well I have made this known to the staff and

that their may be days that Nick doesn't want to work with her. Well

yesterday he got negative marks for reading because he wouldn't read

with Grandma. Well I asked the homeroom teacher about this again (it

has happened more than once) she said that she was the only one

available. Well I said that arguring with him and forcing him

accomplishes nothing. Why couldn't he read on his own, or work on

something else until someone else was available?

Am I being to protective or should I talk with the school again?

Anyone else experience this problem?

What about trying to address this behavior. Your son will have to

interact with the elderly in order to function in life. Can you ask

for consultation services with a behaviorist? Can the school try

some social stories? Also, what does your son love, maybe Grandma

can start providing some positive experiences related to what your

son is interested in.

Just some thoughts-

We've never experienced this with my Aspie, but you would think that

the school would understand that they sometimes get " stuck " in

certain patterns or cannot be flexible and try to work with it.

There is nothing wrong with teaching him how to adapt to undesirable

but safe situations, but forcing him certainly won't do that.
