I think what you're talking about has a lot to do with kids who don't have great control over their emotions.

And therefore their emotional reactions, unfortunately, tend to be easier targets, prime targets for kids who bully.

As I mentioned before, bullying is all about an imbalance of power.

And sometimes that has to do with

Look at me, look how calm I can stay.

I have the power to make you lash out, explode in anger.

Cry whatever big reaction it is they're looking for.

So unfortunately, neurodiverse kids whose the way their brains work.

Their emotional control is lagging behind a little bit.

Unfortunately, that one characteristic makes them an easier target, which is really unfortunate, sad, speaks to the power of us as adults needing to teach empathy as a skill.

So that kids don't derive pleже.

out of getting other people to have big reactions, but rather they know that's cruel.
