For me it started as young as I can remember but I was fortunate enough to be one of the biggest toughest kids right up until high school, people tried but quickly worked out I would take it for a while then beat the piss out of them with no warning, I would actually witness bullying and step in when I saw people taking others money, I would not allow it, at high school I was average size and it was bad from the start early in year 9 I was lured to a quiet place by my "best friend" of the previous year and he beat me really badly, he must have punched me 30 times and jumped on my head and kicked me on the ground atleast 50 times he was twice my size it only stopped when a passing older student pulled him off, it ruined my life I had just been tested as having an iq of 185, diagnosed aspie and was off the charts in maths and applying for a scholarship to a top school, I was too afraid to return to scool and ended up working as a butcher, I get called names and treated badly in almost every workplace and can never get very far in most situations.
Ohhh man, that's really , REALLY awful!! ! To be betrayed like that - and you're lucky to still be alive, I mean if you were average size and he was twice your size...you must have gone to the hospital and suffered lasting injuries, it's a wonder you didn't die or end up in a coma / vegetative state. Did you ever determine any motive or just raw meanness? I hope your family at least got the police involved and pressed charges, but hey he'd probably just get a year in juve hall or something.

For me, it was in the second grade, but that was the teacher, so my mom pulled me out of her class. I wasn't really a stimming type of Aspie, but that teacher expected everyone to sit perfectly still. I must have blocked that out, because the only bullying I remember was from the classmates, and that it started sometime in the third grade. That was because I was pulled out of class for speech therapy at least once a week or so, and that I also wore glasses to fix a lazy left eye. I wasn't diagnosed then since it wasn't until I was an adult that autism was seen as a spectrum, and nobody knew about Asperger's. My mom remembers that teacher, and she still has negative things to say even though she was also a teacher until she retired.
For me, the worst year was 7th grade, when I went to one junior high where a lot of bullies attended. Fortunately, we moved across town, so I was able to finish at another school, and go to a different high school. The thing is that I do wear glasses as an adult, but that's because I need them to see things in the distance and to legally drive.

Just had to jump in for a moment remembering how getting my first glasses in 2nd grade made me unhappy that even though I could see I still didn't have any friends, offset by the beauty of the night sky (and everything else) that had only been a blur.
