Autism, Bullying and Me

The Really Useful Stuff You Need to Know About Coping Brilliantly with Bullying Emily Lovegrove This accessible guide for autistic children and teens is full of advice for coping successfully with bullying. It helps the reader understand what bullying is and debunks myths such as ‘bullying makes you stronger’. It also lays out self-empowering strategies and practical tips on how to deal with situations where they are being bullied.

“I loved Emily’s book. Sharp, clever, funny and not patronising or sentimental at all. As an autistic teen who has been bullied, I gained greater understanding of the mindset and actions of those who bully. I also gained greater understanding of myself, and some great coping mechanisms too.”

– Dara McAnulty 16-year-old autistic author and naturalist.
