Most of them insisted either that my abusers "had a crush on me" (because nothing says love like broken ribs?) or that it was all somehow my own fault. <br /><br />My experiences were, I'm told, much more extreme than typical bullying, but autistic kids do seem to be bullied much more than allistic kids.

A lot of what you write here is really important and helps me think about it. I myself have always tended to dismiss bullying of *me* because "other people have it worse." I am very sorry that happened to you and to everyone else here who is writing in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426050656197929065.post-3973471422523400542013-02-12T14:51:18.210-05:002013-02-12T14:51:18.210-05:00Yes, these types of things happened to me every da...Yes, these types of things happened to me every day as well. Walking into public school with my oldest little girl was terrifying, even many years later. At times it still gets to me, and I have to keep my head down and touch the walls, and although I'm twice the size of those children, I'm still a bit scared of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426050656197929065.post-13927274386415100422013-02-12T13:28:05.955-05:002013-02-12T13:28:05.955-05:00I know, it happened to me too. everyday. every hou...I know, it happened to me too. everyday. every hour. everything i valued about myself was trashed. everything that was valued by teachers or my so called peers was something i couldn't do no matter how hard i tried. eventually i grew up and contrary to what they all said, family and school, i did quite well at times. and abysmally at anything requiring executive function. ultimately depression and complex ptsd caught up and clobbered me.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02842905140124934027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426050656197929065.post-16049729210729576102013-02-12T10:35:51.573-05:002013-02-12T10:35:51.573-05:00((I am so, so sorry.))

We have to become aware of who holds the power and our own prejudices - and we have to stop these things.Brenda Rothman (Mama Be Good)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17399227210081662280noreply@blogger.com
