Disturbing Statistic: 60% of AS Kids Bullied at School

The National Autism Society (NAS) released what they learned in a research they recently did revealing that 40% of students with autism and 60% of students with Asperger's Syndrome are bullied at school.  The bullying was so severe that their parents had to move them out of school.

Bullying is bad.  I remember being bullied growing up.  It scarred me deeply.  I am still recovering from it, and it's now more than 20 years after I graduated from high school where it was very severe.

Joshua Muggleton, a student with Asperger's, tells his story of being bullied at school.
