I don't live in Scotland by the way, I'm thinking maybe there's a similar list where I live in the North East, if anyone else lives here and has an idea of what that may be, and how to get added to the list. Let me explain...
I've recently (the past 3-4 months) had to ditch two so-called friend's who I was badly bullied from in the form of: playing cruel pranks on me, stealing from me, mild physical attacks, threats, ridicule etc.
You name it, these horrible individuals did it. For one of them, I'm pretty sure knew that I had this condition and he was using my nativity/passivity against me to almost try to control my life, like persuading me to give over my address and postcode so he can personally sign me up to a random job (long story, but basically he was forcing me to work, trying to control my life). My other most recent post ("commanding you to do things") reflects this.
Given that it was so long ago, and I've blocked him online and he hasn't contacted me since, I can't exactly report them to the police (mate crime is what it's called -- something like 80-90% of people with and ASD, no matter how mild, may experience it). However, I'm really concerned something like this could happen in the future, and if possible I'd like to file the discrimination/hate crime act against someone who may do this to me in the future (another supporting friend suggested this), or if I should bump into him on the street again and he won't leave me alone. Maybe even use it as leverage to get a restraining order or something of the sort.
How would I go about doing this? Would I need a formal diagnosis of high-functioning autism, and would that actually be classed as a 'disability'? Or are there no laws to protect against the higher-functioning cases.
Thanks guys.
