I think kids with autism get bullied a lot because we're different.

i think your right

Yeah me to. I was just too different. I took everything literally too so was easy to pick on and confuse. I guess I was seen as the weaker kid.

Kids often pick on those who are different. A lot of them grow out of it. And a lot of them don't and are the same as adults, just more subtle. I was bullied as a kid and I wasn't in special ed. I was just unusual.

That's the way humans are, and unfortunately I don't think it can ever be fully prevented. Try not to let it continue to affect you.

It's not just autistic kids who get bullied, anyone with any neurodiverse disability gets bullied and even some NTs kids get bullied who are different and it could be because they are gay or trans or bi or because they come from a poor family or because they have different interests that do not match their gender or it could be because they have a lisp or other speech disorders or language impairment or because they are a slow learner, or because they don't have the same thing other kids own that is popular in the school among kids.

I was picked on as a kid because I was different, I talked funny, I was clumsy, had poor social skills, had a language impairment, kids thought I was stupid, and some thought I was mean or rude and some even thought I was ret*d and I was also called slow. Kids saw me as weird too. This forced me to try and be normal and act like the others and I so think they gave me a push in life because it gave me a learning attitude to keep trying and working on things and I started to try and teach myself social skills just by reading about it and watching movies and watching how nice people act and how bad people act and how people respond. But I am the exception here about the bullied. It doesn't mean it didn't affect me in a negative way. Now I am very sensitive about the word honesty because to me it means to verbally abuse someone and to put them down and belittle them because after all they are being honest right? So f**k people who want others to be honest.

Bullies tend to do what they do because of their own insecurities. They put someone else down in an attempt to make them feel better about themselves, and autistic people are often easy targets because we are often obviously different and not the best at standing up for ourselves. That's not to say that neurotipicals don't get bullied, but it is definitely more of a problem among autistic people.
