  Case: Autism Student and Personal Space
In my 6th grade class, I have a female student who has Autism. She is very hands on, meaning she likes touching other students. This makes the other students very uncomfortable. I have talked to her one on one and explained about "personal space" and that it even though she may feel she is being nice and friendly, that the other students feel different. She continues to do it. I have contacted administration who advised me to write a discipline when she does it. The problem is her mother works in the school and when she finds out that her daughter was written up, she contacts the principal who then throw out the discipline so their never are any consequences. How do I make this student aware that this is inappropriate and to get her to stop?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would create a discipline system in the class so that the student is disciplined by you. This would prevent the referral being intercepted in the office, and it would provide the students with the consequences needed for behavior correction.
