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.

Bullies

Understanding Bullies and Bullying

Dennis Lines

Is there a particular type of person who becomes a bully? Why do bullies behave like they do? How can we interpret and understand bullying within relationships?

By listening to the voices of bullies and victims from all kinds of backgrounds without making judgements, the author provides unique insights into bullying and what makes such domineering and aggressive behaviour so complex. He discusses controversial issues such as genetic predisposition towards abusive behaviour and draws on his counselling knowledge to provide insights on how to understand and treat bullies to change their behaviour.

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.
