Bullying and Aspergers Syndrome: What Can We Do About It? March 2nd, 2008.
This is a workshop for teens and young adults with Aspergers Syndrome with Nick
Dubin (friends and family are welcome). Bullying is a serious problem for people
with Asperger Syndrome (AS). Many of the more common characteristics of AS-such
as poor understanding of both verbal and nonverbal social cues and rules,
atypical behaviors, impaired theory of mind, and preoccupation with unusual
subjects-can make these individuals easy targets. Statistically, the vast
majority of children and adults with AS will experience bullying in their lives.
This event will take place from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm at the Newton Community
Services Center, 492 Waltham Street in West Newton, MA. For more information or
