Autism; Bullying and teasing – Prof. Tony Attwood Special
Some autistic individuals, as children and teenagers, have been told that they are bullied because they are ‘weird’, and if they stopped being ‘weird’ they wouldn’t be bullied. The presentation will dispel that myth. Someone on the autistic spectrum should never have to mask or camouflage their behaviour. There will be a focus on the power of the peer group to stop an autistic person being bullied, teased, humiliated or rejected. The intention is to change the behaviour of those who engage in bullying and teasing.
