I wasn't sure whether this should be in the advocacy forum but I saw a group of boys (A B and C) indirectly bullying a boy (D) with autism in my high school today. (Gym class). Boy A was pretending to kick a girl and D took it literally as offensive and scolded A. A laughed and walked away to B and C where he whispered a string of intolerant trash, for lack of a better word, to them, and all three laughed. Then boy A proceeded to do the same thing again, possibly to get the same reaction. I wish I could have said something but with all the anger I had I don't know if it would have ended well. Naturally the teachers were talking in some corner and everyone else was in their cliques. A and the others have done similar things to individuals they perceive as 'different' before.
By the way, I have already given a detailed presentation on autism to this VERY class (Health class portion)..
What can I do besides talking to a counselor, who will likely tell me to ignore them? Am I overreactin(g?
(Please don't say this is what high school is about.)
