i work with people with disabilities and many of them are autistic. what he is doing he can not help. they have ritualistic behaviors. maybe the material you wear is providing sensory input. people with this disability are doing what is normal for them. you shouldnt treat him unfairly because he doesnt realize what other peoples rights are and therefore cannot be held accountable for his actions. speak to one of his special ed instructers. i agree with violet they are trained to understand and deal with thier behaviors. please dont be mean to him he has no control over his disability

omg people chill out.. its weird when someones touching you and you dont know them special ed/autism or not. tell a teacher because at my school theyre not supposed to touch you? they can talk to you and stuff but maybe try to talk to him and see what he wants &then hell leave you alone

you need to understand that he doesnt understand. you should talk to a teacher and tell them to have him kept away from you if you are that uncomfortable. he cannot control himself. i actually dont see what is wrong with the touching on the shoulder. in my opinion, you just dont want an autistic kid to touch you. just relax spazzo.

Autism is a neurological disorder that affects communication(verbal and non) and social interaction and so on. So you can understand...What you need to do is probably talk to one of the special ed teachers about his behavior towards you. They are specially trained to deal with children who have mental illnesses and disabilities, so she/he will likely be able to take care of it for you.

Hi Rachel, well your question is hard and not everything works. I had a sister with disabilities so i have been around those kinda people my whole life. I'm guessing you've tried ignoring him so.. have you tried introducing him to a nicer girl or something or someone who shares his "intrests"? And if that doesn't work try and be with your friends 24/7. Every time he taps you on the shoulder switch places with your friend. Travel in a pack it might intimidate him.
Thats all i got on the spot thinkin but check my profile

People with autism quite often develop a fascination for another person. It could be your name he identifies with or maybe you have a similar appearence to someone he knows or has seen on tv. People with this problem don't usually mean any harm, and they can be quite gifted. I would say that if he is bothering you, there should be a teacher or teaching assistant who is responsible for looking after him that you could approach. They should be able to do something to intervene. It probably won't be long before someone or something else takes his attention away from you. So stay calm and don't do anything to keep him interested, speak to a teacher and things should get sorted. good luck.
