Is Muslim-chic the latest fad in Catholic school?

Honestly, I think you need to get your son some intensive social help. This sounds like pretty obvious bullying rather than a cool new trend, and this isn’t the first time you’ve posted something that sounds a lot like him being the butt of cruel jokes. But, I’m not she been realizes it, or if he does, it doesn’t seem like he can articulate that to you and he’s probably suffering quite a lot.
 
Thank you my friend. He is in therapy and under a lot of stress (my mom’s sudden passing didn’t help).

And yes, some of the hand gestures made toward him were ISIS related ones he was too naive to know about. A classmate and emerging friend gave him the heads-up.

And congratulations!!! To you and DH!
 
We fell behind on the social skills therapy when I shattered my leg on vacation last summer and was non-weight bearing for 2 1/2 months. My husband has a demanding job and couldn’t take the time he needed for my surgeries and to get my son social skills help before he went back to brick & mortar school.
 
REading this I would be concerned about what is going on at the school for them to think it was “chic” to be a Muslim.
 
My guess is there are a few kids who knows this annoys your son, so they do it to get a rise out of him. Kids have been teasing each other since beginning of time.

At the same time, the religion class may be discussing world religions. In this day and age it would be strange if they did not talk about Islam. Education about the beliefs of other people is important.
 
They were studying OT prophets, and my son was the only kid that knew that Mohammad was not an OT profit. Then the kids were saying in Arabic that Allah is the true God and Mohammad is his profit.
 
Ignorance of the OT prophets is fairly widespread in Catholicism. I am not surprised, and that is why kids are in school - to learn! Many parents are not teaching Scripture at home.

The kids are pulling his chain. Your options are to let your son fight his own battles or to take him out of the battle. It sounds as if you are going to take him out of the battle.
 
I understand this phrase is fine, but wouldn’t Alleluia be more fitting? Yeah the ringleader is trying to inflict as much annoyance on him as possible.
 
He has some special needs, and there is more going on than just this. He’s being physically targeted. Therapist is on board with moving him.
 
I wish he had the social skills to fight his own battles. He’s still learning them. He’s ADA protected, and the school knew that he was not a behavioral problem. He suffers from anxiety too.
 
As a disabled adult out in the world, the ADA does not follow me around protecting me from the wisecracks or cruel words that happen at the grocery store or the movie theater.

The ADA does not walk into the job interview with me.

Learning to handle these situations on my own is a great gift my parents gave. Yes, sometimes it was difficult, but, independence is so important.
 
Yeah, I know. I’ve been told that too. But these are more than bad words. I know you’re trying to help, but there is only so much targeting a person can take day after day. His grades being ruined due to stress won’t get him a job either. Walking into school thinking he’s going to be punched is no way to attend school. Systematic isolation by a girl obsessed with him is also not a way to attend school.

Let’s say it’s so bad we are waiting on a lawsuit settlement, that’s how negligent they have been. Forums can’t mimic real life no matter how hard you try to explain.
 
This is where being on the autism spectrum really stinks, as well as having a girl obsessed with you who has been discipline 5+ times and hasn’t learned her lesson.
 
My disability is so severe and visible that I get mocked, taunted, people take photos/video of me and post it on line to mock me every time I go out of the house. There is no way I can hide or disguise it. Believe me, if I had not learned how to deal with it, I would have ended up like so many others with my disability, suicidal.

I get it.
 
Yes, you get it. That’s what I am trying to avoid with my son. However, we are not the only family pulling their kids. It has been happening since Christmas.

I am so sorry to hear what you have had to endure. No doubt you will be welcomed in Heaven with open arms.
 
If we can get my son over the perseveration, we have a good chance. Also, his scrupulously issues. That is why we are seeing a Catholic therapist.
