Why are so many males with aspergers such bullies?

What exactly are they doing that can be considered bullying?

ONLY males????? I'm sure I've run into women in this forum who give any man a run for their money in the "bully" department. Maybe hang around Politics and Philosophy forum for a little while?

Maybe we don't know we're being bullies? Maybe we just react the way we do because this is the way we're taught is right?

Tell me who did this to you and I'll beat them up (philosophically of course). :D

Some of my associates who have a form of autism I would buy beer for at the bar when they asked. In return for the favour? They bullied and made fun of me.

Are you referring to "Mate Crime" by any chance?

Interesting. Usually it's supposed to be NT's having a monopoly on being bullies.

I really do not think autism or lack of it has any factor in someone being a bully, as it obviously exists readily in both making it universal human behavior.

Having been in schools for autistic people my whole life, I would say the bully to non-bully ratio is about the same as with non-autistic people.
