I imagine it has something to do with your gender to begin with. I'm female, and I was picked on mostly by females. The few friends I had were either boys or other weird females. There were a few boys who picked on me, too.

I would doubt it these days with the creep-shaming going on and the false sexual assault accusations.

That may be true...especially if you're male. I'm 34 though, so I was thinking back to my own childhood...when Asperger's wasn't even recognized and I had no idea that I was on the spectrum.

Girls picked on me, but apparently it's because they liked me and were flirting but I didn't know.. It just felt like teasing.

I appreciate all the answers, but how did you do outside of school like in your neighborhood

I gravitate to men, particularly older paternal men - I like them (& vice versa) plus they're safe. On the other hand, my neurotypical female peers can be witches. If confronted, I will fight.

The Lab Pet tends to have a rapport with men. From my experience, neurotypical girls/women are inclined to manipulative back-stabling behaviour, including gossip and covert bullying. Females have the capacity to be socially crafty. Because I've been hurt so badly, whenever I meet a female, I am privately leery - I know what they can do.


INDEED

I handle every contact with women as I would a hostage situation.

I have been made fun of by both sexes, but the worst emotional pain was caused by other females.

Both genders, equally bad... Doesn't happen so much anymore, but the scars are still there.

As early as I can remember, I was bullied by EVERYONE in my neighbourhood. For example, I once rode my bike on 'their' sidewalk (in front of a neighbours house) and the 3 kids came out and trashed my bike. Was too poor for my parents to afford another one and nothing was ever done about it. I also had rocks thrown at me and was taunted and they were equally boys and girls. When I visited my grandparents, my parents wouldn't let me go to the park alone because the kids used to steal my toys and just be mean in general.

My second home was better but only because most of the kids were completely messed up and we had nothing to do with them. The next door neighbours *gasp* also bullied, teased and taunted me and their parents said some pretty malicious things about me. Again, it involved everyone and it was 50/50 boys to girls. No wonder I'm such a bitter person.

Just so sorry for how awfully you were mistreated, you never deserved this.....And for all of you. :cry: Never will I understand why certain NTs need to bully - it's their ultimate cruelty, leaving their scars on us all. <In private to you, I'm typing this in tears....>

Wish the bullying could just be taken away from you - if it's any help, please know that it's made you the stronger person! Aspies are the strongest people I know.

Sorry for the edit: Sometimes younger Aspies (school-age) ask 'Will it get better?', thinking that bullying ends in the playground. From my experience, no. In fact, adult bullies are covert and their taunts hurt just as badly, but with real ramifications for career & relationships. The tragedy is that there oftentimes is no recourse! I guess the only key is to know that we're good inside and can rise above it.

By girls. Definitely more by girls. In elementary/middle school these girls would beckon me over by saying, "Hey LtlPinkCoupe, come here" and when I cautiously approached them and smiled, they would turn to one another and start giggling to each other, like they were saying "I can't believe we have her so well-trained that she'll come when we call!" or something like that.
