Most
children and adolescents with high-functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome
are victims of bullying at school and in the community. Indeed, some
of their unique behaviors and characteristics make many of these children
easy targets for chronic, frequent and severe bullying.
This book takes
an honest look at the different types of bullying and the actions adults
must take to curb bullying, thereby helping to prevent the often lifelong
effects of this insidious form of behavior on victims. Practical strategies
and solutions at the school, class and individual level are presented.
