I have a NT son in mainstream school(KS1) whose best friend has Aspergers.
This child's behaviour is terrible towards ds - they share some games and secret codes etc and are very attached but the relationship appears very unhealthy to me since I witnessed them playing together at home.
The child with AS is awful to ds, constantly berating him and being very rude, bossy, ignoring adults etc. DS just apologises.
i have noticed a really sad change in ds over recent months and he comes home often in tears, being angry, rude, nasty - and then it comes out how horrid his 'friend' has been to him at school.
I've advised telling a teacher, advised and practised saying 'please stop that' and told ds to walk away - he has tried several of these tactics but nothing is working.
The child in question seems to have no other friends and DS defends him to the hilt which again I feel is a sign of things being wrong.
Short of taking ds out of school what can I do, it's been going on for goodness knows how long but certainly a few months. I know the school did nothing when my friend;s son was bullied in yr2, so have little confidence in them - and if I speak to his mother, it may not help either as I presume some of the behaviour is AS related.
Starting to despair, any thoughts welcome - but I am begging to think this boy should not be in mainstream school if his behaviour is so unpleasant. I was all for integration before experiencing this.

At what point does SN inclusion in mainstream school become unwise?
