Is Bullying. Was Re: new here - Hello

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am new here as well, but haven't really had a chance to post in

depth about anything yet because of time constraints. Mostly I go

through my daily digest and read what is there with the intention of

coming back to one post or another and providing input where I can...

but you know how it is. Life has a way of getting in the way of

things.

But bullying is something that really gets to me because I myself was

bullied when I was younger, and I know it happens to a lot of people.

AS kids tend to be targets.

I do know of a couple of podcasts that are about autism and bullying

which are pretty good in my opinion. I think what is good about them

is that it explains WHY kids on the spectrum are targeted in the

first place, and it suggests things they can and should do when

bullied.

You can find them at www.mic.mypodcast.com . They are called Autism

and Bullying I & II.

I'd be interested in knowing what anyone here thinks of them. From

what I've heard from others, they are not bad.

So this is my two sense on the bullying aspect of things. I will have

to keep reading the ole digest to see if anyone else has helped out

with the rest of your inquiries.

Welcome to the group.

This year has been an absolute nightmare, teasing, bullying, etc.

School has always been his love, he loves going, this year its not so

much! I read with interest the posts here they sound so like my son.

Any advice about getting diagnos, dealing with school, support, etc.

is welcomed. With all of his multiple needs and this AS on top of it,

I am at my wits end, I cant stand seeing him suffer this way. Thanks

Sandi
