reports getting along well with his grandparents, but did report one incident from a couple weeks ago. Andrew said his grandfather, Tommy Carlisle, got angry with him, pushed him against the wall, and pushed his arm up against his neck/throat. It appears there may be a pattern of possible abuse from Andrew's father, Chris Carlisle. Andrew made reports to me and two of his teachers today at school. Andrew said he has told his mother before, and she tells him he is "full of shit." The child has injuries on Extremities (i.e., arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers, toes). The injury was an abrasion. Andrew showed me a wound on his foot. I believe it was his left foot. It seems that some of Andrew's behaviors, linked to having Autism, may be difficult for his family to handle.
I believe both Andrew's mother and father have some difficulty with Andrew. The extended family lives here in town. Andrew is well known, and supported here at school.
