My 7 year old daughter is a very high functioning autistic child. She's getting great grades in regular school, is a beautiful kid, and generally a very happy kid, despite having a few communications problems. She is a tough kid, never bothered by scraping her knee or falling down, etc. She does cry easily if someone forgets to put her favorite scarf or mittens in her backpack when she comes home from school or if she feels like her schedule has been changed without warning her in advance.
Some of the bigger kids on the bus have been teasing her because she whines and cries easily and often. By often, I mean comes home crying about once or twice a month. She has a long bus ride, and it must be hellish to put up with that much teasing every day.
So my question is what, if anything should I do to try to curb the teasing? It has become bad enough that the bus driver has her sit in the front of the bus to protect her.
