Asperger Syndrome and Bullying: Strategies and Solutions

Nick Dublin

Bullying is a serious problem for people with AS both at school and in the workplace, and displaying "different" behavior, such as not understanding social rules or hand-flapping, exacerbates the risk of being victimized.
This book describes the bullying behavior individuals have xperienced, and the effect this has had on their lives, outlining the reasons for bullying behavior and the danger of persistent recurrence if it remains unchecked, as well as the critical importance of "involving the bystander". A range of effective strategies to address bullies and bullying that can be applied by parents, professionals, schools, and individuals being bullied is also explored. The importance of peer intervention, empathetic teachers, and verbal self-defense are stressed, as well as how a lack of support, condemning of "tale telling," or even blaming the victim reinforces bullying.
This book offers individuals with AS who are being bullied the opportunity to see that they are not alone, and it is an invaluable source of advice for parents, teachers, professionals and personnel managers.

Beating Bullying in Australian Schools

Ian Findley

As a both a bully and a victim in childhood, and with 27 years experience working in secondary schools, Ian Findley approaches the subject of bullying from a unique and highly qualified perspective. Bullying is a reality for every school. It occurs in social groups as a part of a battle for power and social recognition. Shared Responsibility aims to resolve instances of bullying not by punishing bullies, but by asking them to share in the responsibility of finding a solution. By supporting victims and assessing the damage caused, this book addresses the impact of bullying and provides practical solutions for dealing with repeat offenders and challenging students. Collated over 12 years of research, a series of case studies are used to illustrate examples of successful outcomes and provide a model for implementing Shared Responsibility as a whole school approach. This method considers the needs of all students involved in bullying and attempts to change offending behaviour and attitudes by developing empathy and self-discipline in bullies. Tested and trialled in Australian schools, Shared Responsibility empowers schools, bullies and their victims to find constructive and ongoing resolutions to this challenging social phenomenon.
