Hi guys.

At the moment I am at the beginning of a project to promote awareness and prevention of bullying and Asperger's Syndrome with a psychologist Chris Szaday a friend of mine. It will be a book and DVD combined. I am looking to get contributions for it from people with Asperger's Syndrome (aged 10+) who have been bullied in the workplace, school or society in general.

I would like to get their/your story, how they dealt with the bullying, how they think AS contributed, strategies for dealing with bullying and promoting a safe and secure society for those with AS. Just first names are fine or a fake name if you feel more comfortable. If you know anyone or would like to be involved.

I would also be interested to hear from parents of Aspies who were bullied and I would like to get your story, how you dealt with the bullying of your son/daughter, how you think AS contributed, strategies for dealing with bullying and promoting a safe and secure society for those with AS.

Please send them to email address [email protected] as an attachment

Thanks.

i will reply to this right here. you wouldn't include my story to your book anyway :)

Some people tried to bully me at the basic school, but what I did was that I went into fight even against the three guys who used to try it on me. Every single one of them would outfight me easily, so it was pretty clear that I am going to get beaten. I didn’t care, though. I was not afraid of physical pain. Or better said, I didn’t care to feel it. The outcome was surprising to me. They stopped bullying me. Although they knew I am no problem to get me under control, it was still more difficult with me than with the other children who didn’t resist. So, they focused on someone else.
