DON'T STAND SO CLOSE TO ME with Ashleigh Dalton

Today's Scenario:

David, a 14-year-old in Year 9, frequently misinterprets social cues. He tries to join peer groups by dominating conversations, often stands too close to others, and struggles to understand why his humor sometimes offends his classmates. This leads to him being consistently excluded from group activities, resulting in significant feelings of loneliness and low self-esteem. Several parents have requested that their child is not placed in future classes with David as a result.
