DYS DS8 just got his first detention of the year which is way earlier than usual. Kids were teasing him at lunch saying he's in a dream world, one took his lunch box and was holding it away from him. When DS went to grab it back, he hit the kid in the head accidentally. The kid went to the aide and said DS hit him. DS got detention, end of story.
The other kids can communicate rings around him. He never vocalizes a denial or rebuttal that has any effectiveness, yet his age-mates talk a good talk.

Hi Kate:
I'm sorry you're dealing with all this. Sending you a virtual hug.
If you haven't already read The Unwritten Rules of Friendship, I would suggest that book highly as a resource. There are some very specific behaviors that your child may be doing unknowingly that can make them vulnerable to bullying. If you identify these behaviors, the authors have exercises you can do with your child.
