  Case: Bullying
There is one student in a couple of my classes who has ASD and is integrated into a general education classroom. She does not speak with other students, but takes a liking to the teachers. She has some physical habits that are slightly gross to watch, and the students will talk about it around her as well as the teachers will make fun of her too. Whenever I am around this student I have conversation with her and am very kind, but I feel as though she knows what everyone thinks about her. How do I address other adults and students talking about this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
i admire your generosity and think you should stand up for her every time you see someone bullying her. I would also let her know that people think that what she is doing is strange in America. Explain to her about some American customs and see if you can help her find some friends.

Comments: I think it would be next to impossible to stand up for this student everytime she was made fun of. Also, I do not think that addressing culture would be useful in this case. Demonstrating healthy interactions would be a better approach to me.

Comments: I think standing up for her is important, however, the child has ASD, it doesn't state she's foreign. Telling her that her habits are not typical in America would be very strange as the child is likely born in America as the case doesn't state otherwise.
