"Autism spectrum disorder spiked 175% among people in the U.S. from 2.3 per 1,000 in 2011 to 6.3 per 1,000 in 2022, researchers found. Diagnosis rates climbed at a faster rate among adults in their mid-20s to mid-30s in that period, according to a study published Wednesday in JAMA Network Open."

There's bullying and there's romantic trauma - a very normal thing for people with autism. There's really nothing good in romantic trauma in an NT environment for an autistic person. Nothing good at all.

Also there's some bullying and there's a lot of bullying.

He might have simply been in a good school and called that bullying.

Anyway, there lived such a guy as M.I. Dragomirov, a Russian general, his approaches to warfare are a fossil, but his approaches to upbringing and healthy relationships in a military can be roughly summed up as "one who's taught to fear a stick will fear enemy bayonet even more". Being subject to bullying does not generally teach one bravery. I mean, there are probably very virtuous parents who'll explain to their kid that always hitting back and even when the teachers and other kids are on the bully's side. But a lot of parents will pretend there's no bullying and tell their kid to ignore it, and that hitting back is wrong.

I would really like to not have been in that school, the skills I've learned there I feel I won't ever need in any environment other than an actual warzone. But in that case an autistic person will function even worse than other people, skills or not.
