Bullying Experiences among Children and Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Cappadocia, M. Catherine; Weiss, Jonathan A.; Pepler, Debra
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v42 n2 p266-277 Feb 2012
Few studies have investigated bullying experiences among children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD); however, preliminary research suggests that children with ASD are at greater risk for being bullied than typically developing peers. The aim of the current study was to build an understanding of bullying experiences among children with ASD based on parent reports by examining rates of various forms of bullying, exploring the association between victimization and mental health problems, and investigating individual and contextual variables as correlates of victimization. Victimization was related to child age, internalizing and externalizing mental health problems, communication difficulties, and number of friends at school, as well as parent mental health problems. Bullying prevention and intervention strategies are discussed.
