Let's Talk about It: Peer Victimization Experiences as Reported by Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Fisher, Marisa H.; Taylor, Julie Lounds
Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, v20 n4 p402-411 May 2016
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder experience high rates of peer victimization; yet, their personal experiences and perceptions of such victimization are not well understood. In this qualitative investigation, responses to questions about bullying and teasing were examined to gain insight into the perception of peer victimization as reported by adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. While the majority of participants provided examples of peer victimization, their situations differed from items typically assessed on bullying questionnaires. Participants were also able to provide explanations for why they believe they are targets and descriptions of their reactions to bullying. Findings from the interviews are used to provide suggestions for the development of more informative bullying assessments and prevention programs for students with autism spectrum disorder.
