Autistic Kids Make Easy Targets for School Bullies

Why Autistic Kids Make Easy Targets for School Bullies

           First of all the way this article was laid out was from the most importance to least importance. The reason I picked this was because it gave main points in the beginning of the post and other details later on.
           Throughout the article there seems to be no anger or frustration from the author himself, he just gives plain details about why they are being bullied and how come it’s more of them being bullied then other kids. The article itself is simply explaining why these autistic kids are being more likely to be bullied than others. A statement from the article itself says “In the study, about 46% of autistic children in middle and high school told their parents they were victimized at school within the previous year, compared with just over 10% of children in the general population”.

These kids are being bullied and picked on all because they don't even know they're being bullied on. For instance from the article it talks about how a girl was getting bullied but never knew, “Riley-Hall recalled an incident involving her daughter in elementary school. “Little boys were getting her to say dirty words and laughing at her. She thought this was a good thing and that they were being friendly, but they were really making fun of her,” she says, describing how another girl, who knew it was wrong, told the teacher.”

    For me, this is really inappropriate. Kids shouldn't bully special needs kids all because they don’t know what’s going on. Bullying has taken a big role in the world already. It has been caused thousands of suicides across the country.
