DEWITT, N.Y. -- It hasn't been an easy road for Danielle Lambert's 11-year-old son Justin. "It's heartbreaking, heartbreaking," said Lambert. "You are writing my son up for being autistic. It's terrible."

Lambert said her son has had a hard time making friends at school this year. She said Justin tried to reach out to his fellow classmates on the bus last week, with a note asking if they wanted to be his friend. She was shocked when she learned he was written up for doing so. 

"I understand the driver's position where he's trying to keep them separate so Justin doesn't get bullied again," she said "But the driver worded it very insensitive to children with disabilities. He called my son awkward."

The report went on to say the middle schooler was "disrespectful" and "displayed awkward behavior that results in altercation."

Lambert shared the "reflection sheet" on Facebook where thousands rallied behind her.  "It went viral and there seems to be a hundred parents in my inbox saying this is happening to their children in the same district."

She brought the incident to the Jamesville-Dewitt School Board's attention Monday night. After Lambert spoke, dozens of parents followed, echoing her concerns with bullying across the district. 

"It's anything that looks different than the ordinary. Anyone of color, race, talks different any kind of disability," said Lambert. "They're segregated in the schools."

Parents asked the school board to be more inclusive and address the issues -- but they say they have yet to get a response.

"There have got to be some changes about the way they do things with people of special needs, people of color, people who are Asian," said Onondaga County Legislator Linda Ervin.  "People who are different, period."

Lambert hopes sharing her son's experience is the first step in making that change. She said the schools only response so far has been to move her child to another bus.
