Question
If a person with autism touches you in an inapporprete way and they've done it more than once and the teacher knows but doesn't do anything about it what should the victum who is being touched inappropretly do?
Answer
Whether or not a person has autism, there are rules about how people are touched and how they should not be touched. If you have talked to the teacher, and if s/he is not responding to stop the touching, then talk to the principal at the school. Good luck!
