Sharon B,
I wish I had some answers. I've spent my weekend in fits of crying due to my situation.

Hello.
I'm wondering if anyone out there has experienced workplace bullying. I have high functioning Autism and I am a teacher. I'm also being mistreated by a few coworkers, who are supported by our admin. I feel a bit lost.
Any stories to share?
