What should I do?

[Guest guest]

I don't post much, but I'm in a quandry as to how to handle a

situation that happened at my son's sting concert tonight. He has

aspergers, add and a very bad motor tic. His motor tic gets worse when

fatiqued and/or stressed (and is something he is very sensitive

about). This concert involved a few schools in the pyramid so some of

the teachers were unfamiliar with him.

After the concert, instead of promptly putting his viola away he

dashed off to get refreshments (this was after sitting in a chair for

1.75 hours), leaving the viola in a high traffic area where it could

have been damaged. A strings teacher from another school picked it up

and when Sam went to retreive it, this teacher began severly

chastizing him for leaving his instrument unattended. Ok I was about

to do the same.

Sam is just looking at him and " ticing " away (head, neck and shoulder

shrugging). The teacher then gets even sterner and says don't you

shake your head at me. I immediately stepped between them and told

the teacher " don't even go there, he has a sever motor tic " . Teacher

says ok and turns and walks away.

I'm mad as there was not an apology and even more frustrating is that

anyone should have been able to discern that his body movements were

not " normal " .

I'm about to just send him an email, and chastize him for his

insensitivity, but then again my child will probably never see him

again. However, he's sure to encounter other children with problems

so he should be taken to task.

What should I do? Sorry so long
