Bullying and Children with ASD (Infograph)

Bullying and our children is a very serious problem. The infographic, Bullying & Children with ASD, is a succinct no-nonsense guide to dealing with children who are being bullied. Dr. Paul Law, who led the study, has made the effects of bullying very understandable with his chart. The steps a parent can take to intervene are well thought out, easily understood, and make complete sense. What was especially impressive was the very first instruction, Stay Calm! All children feel better when their parents are in control and calm. That is more important when your child has ASD. Teaching your child to stay calm and follow a well thought out plan is the first step to making your child a functioning adult. It is wonderful that this kind of information is being made available. It could be used for any child being bullied. Not just a child with ASD.
