well I typed out a long post only to see it disappear again so I won't type out another. What I said in the post was ... Schools right now take bullying very serious. Children doing such face serious discipline measure. bullying outside of school can be reported to the school in this country. There is a zero tolerance.

Also there is far less bullying anymore ... every school I know has at least 2 or 3 autistic kids in the class and it is getting worse. I can only speak for the small town school I know and it maybe different in large cities where funding is such a problem but the state education laws are pretty clear on a zero tolerance for bullies ... biggest issue to me is the lack of compassion on the adult side. Most kids learn to accept difference pretty quickly ... Adults still look at a child acting up and say I would tan their backside ... awareness is so important I think.
