This document discusses bullying and Asperger's Syndrome. Students with Asperger's are often targets of bullying for reasons such as appearing different from peers, having special interests, and low social skills. Bullying can negatively impact children's mental health, schoolwork, and relationships. While many teachers think they intervene in bullying, studies show most do not. Schools need comprehensive anti-bullying programs and cultures to effectively address this issue.

Dealing with bullies do's & don'tsEdukhojIndia
The many types of researches on bullying have predominantly shown that bullying is practised everywhere and can be devastating to the victim's mental & physical health. Mostly it has been observed that bullying affects an individual’s psychology and personality development during the foundation years, i.e., in schools. Here, parents or guardians need to play a crucial role – they need to be extra vigilant and observe their child’s behaviour and try to figure out whether he/she gets bullied in school or plays the role of a bully. Now, in this PPT, let’s understand more about how to deal with bullies in a better and effective way.
This guide is a resource for parents who are challenged by their autistic or special needs child’s digital habits. We’ve compiled research, parenting tips and other assets to help guide your family’s journey into the digital age.

Editor's Notes
Whatever the reason, bullying is something we all need to think about. Whether we've done it ourselves ... or whether friends or other people we know are doing it ... we all need to recognize that bullying has a terrible effect on the lives of young people. It may not be happening to you today, but it could tomorrow.
- Studies show that between 15-25% of U.S. students are bullied with some frequency, while 15-20% report they bully others with some frequency (Melton et al, 1988; Nansel et al, 2001). Young people who bully are more likely than those who don't bully to skip school and drop out of school. They are also more likely to smoke, drink alcohol and get into fights (Nansel et al, 2003; Olweus, 1993). As many as 160,000 students may stay home on any given day because they're afraid of being bullied (Pollack, 1998). Children who bully are more likely to get into fights, vandalize property, and drop out of school. And 60% of boys who were bullies in middle school had at least one criminal conviction by the age of 24 (Olweus, 1993).
Research shows that between 20% - 30% of school age children are involved in bullying behavior either as the target or the perpetrator. (According to Diana Townsend-Buttorworth author of Your Child’s First School ) And according to Jed Baker 90% of children with Asperger’s are bullied some time in their life.
This can lead to thinking a friend is bullying or thinking a peer is just teasing. It is difficult for our ASD students to clearly see the difference and they can get into some difficult situations.
Because of the lack of awareness of others they may be tuned out when bullying is occurring. This can lead to stronger bullying to get the AS student’s attention. This can be difficult for school personnel to understand – how do they help the student who melts down over seemingly nothing but ignores overt behavior?!
If adults fail to intervene over time the bullying and teasing becomes part of the social fabric of the school. This leads to despair that anything will change.
Teachers and parents who suspect a child is being bullied should make a concerted effort to keep a watchful eye on the student. Many people underestimate the effectiveness of observant adults.
Because many children don’t report their experiences, it is critical that adults and other students are vigilant and responsive to bullying. Unfortunately, adults within the school environment dramatically overestimate their effectiveness in identifying and intervening in bullying situations. For example, in one study, 70% of teachers believed that teachers intervene “almost always” in bullying situations, while only 25% of the students agreed with the teacher’s assessment (Charach et al., 1995). These findings suggest that teachers are unaware of much of the bullying that occurs around them. This is likely because bullying is often difficult to detect and because children often do not report bullying to adults. Perhaps even more disturbing…many children also question the commitment of teachers and administrators to stopping bullying. For example, in a recent study of 9th grade students (Harris et al., 2002), only one-third believed that their teachers were interested in trying to stop bullying. Forty-four percent reported that they did not know if their teachers were interested in stopping bullying, and 21% felt that their teachers were not interested. Even fewer students (25%) believed that administrators at their school were interested in stopping bullying. Sample citations: Charach, A., Pepler, D. J., & Zieler, S. (1995). Bullying at school: A Canadian perspective. Education Canada, 35 , 12-18. Harris, S., Petrie, G., & Willoughby, W. (2002). Bullying among 9 th graders: An exploratory study. NASSP Bulletin 86 (630) .
Unfortunately, not all approaches to bullying prevention and intervention are likely to be effective. In recent years, a number of misdirected strategies have been developed (albeit by committed and caring adults). These “misdirections” include: Zero tolerance policies Conflict resolution and peer mediation Group treatment for children who bully Simple, short-term solutions For more information: See the Stop Bullying Now fact sheet entitled, “Misdirections in Bullying Prevention and Intervention” (www.stopbullyingnow.hrsa.gov)
