My 12 year old son (whose PDD), had a couple of students come up to him and explain why he doesn't have any friends, then during his math class he proceeded to get a pair of scissors and begin slicing his hands and a couple times on his cheek before someone caught him. He has seen his psychiatrist and therapist regarding this issue. I am meeting with the Principle and teacher tomorrow (this just happened yesterday).

Thank you. One of the kids has been expelled. The others the principal will find out today. As for the positive reinforcement, he does have a few good friends, and I know he plays with them.

Positive reinforcement, and redirect your son towards some better role models in his classes. Also if their are other kids in your neighborhood that are his age. I would set up something with them, if they are positive kids.

thank you for sharing. i too have been dealing with these things. my sons school has restricted my son from attending till he is checked and cleared by a doctor. we are now on the second turn in a month. my son is 13. i am hear for you and hope that things improve for you i pray that our kids can be free of these burdens and just be kids for a while.
Does your school have a policy about bulling? I think these kids just stepped over the line. Contact the school see if they have a lunch bunch or social group. Make sure your child understands it is okay to have one or two friends and they don't have to be the same age.Make sure the classmates and him have chance to talk about self worth. Girls at this age have a lot of empathy and may be able to facilitate. the school should have something to help work on this with you. Lunch Bunch, Social skill group.Good luck
