I’m 13y old that was recently diagnosed with ASD. School is starting soon, they surely haven’t changed nor a little bit. They’re just bunch of idiots that like to express their pain and anger on others. Or just fool them for fun. Reporting them does nothing (have been doing that for almost 6 years). It’s like reporting system in CP (Club Penguin), no one is even sure if it even does anything. I never do anything to them, I just stare at them or do something else. That I have blank face or sound calm dosen’t mean that I’m calm. When I answer in short sentences that either means that I don’t have inspiration to talk or that I hold lots of emotions in me. And, about blank face… I ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE BLANK FACE. I almost never express my emotions on my face. So, should I just throw a tantrum without caring for consequences or act tought. Does entire community of ASDers need to act like douchebags just to not be an easy target for bullying?!
P.S I’ve posted this in c/autism because I feel like this problem is deeply tied with my personality. -medvedev-
First, if everyone you meet is a jerk, you might be pissing people off and that’s on you.
If this is not the case, you need to confront them. Bullies are a fact of life. It gets WAY worse later in life if you can’t deal with them.
Not many people will admit it, but hauling off and hitting someone picking on you is a top three experience. It doesn’t even matter if you win. Bullies establish self-worth by degrading others. If you make it easy, they’ll hang around.
