Despite the growing awareness, bullying is still common in schools
these days. Some kids are bullied and some bully others. But, as a new study finds,
kids with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may have an even harder time
with bullying, being many times more likely than their neurotypical
siblings to have experienced it in their lifetimes. Even more
disturbing, autistic kids may be intentionally triggered into having
meltdowns by bullies who know how to push the right buttons.
The new study, from Kennedy Krieger’s Interactive Autism Network,
surveyed families with autistic and non-autistic siblings from all over
the country, asking about their experience with bullying in the past
and present.
