An analysis published in Molecular Autism finds autistic children to be overtly bullied compared to non-autistic children. Autistic children with stronger social skills are more likely to experience and report peer conflict, say the authors.
Two primary themes emerged from the data. These included types of peer victimization, and reasons for peer victimization. While autistic and non-autistic boys and girls reported similar types of peer victimization, there were sex differences in the underlying causes of peer conflict.Codes for verbal, physical, and relational aggression were applied to the text when these themes emerged, even if the child claimed they had no problems with peers or had never been bullied.
So a lot of the boys in my class… they don't like me. I don't know why… they like throw stuff at us. There were no clear differences in reported instances of verbal, physical, or relational aggression between autistic and non-autistic children and between boys and girls. However, there were only 20 reported instances of verbal aggression , 13 reported instances of physical aggression , and 11 reported instances of relational aggression . All 13 instances of physical aggression reported by participants were perpetrated by boys.
They're jealous of how good I'm doing and they want to make… and they want to make themself feel better.
