oh pixie I am so shocked to read this. I truly hope it doesn't have a longlasting effect on your son. the only thing I could maybe say in the teachers favour is that at least she held her hands up to it and didn't try and make out your son was lying, but it should never have happened in the first place.

Big hug to you and your son and well done for handling it so well xx

Thanks Shorty.

I must admit to being relieved that the teacher owned up as well.

Being a teacher of children with Autism she maybe felt that to fib would do no good as children with Autism don't lie!!

I say they don't lie, they find it too difficult to lie and so when they do try it is so obvious that they are telling fibs that they cannot convince others and are easily found out.

I hope that makes sense. It's hard to explain.

It has been lovely having half term to give us all time to move on from this set of incidents.

Thanks for your support Shorty. xx

That makes perfect sense to me pixie. We spent some time this summer with friends in Scotland, their 21 year old daughter has severe non specific learning difficulties and autistic tendencies.....through spending time with her I realise she would simply be incapable of lying. x
