Autism, Bullying and Me

Reach for this book when your neurodivergent child begins to feel like a target for social exclusion or mistreatment at school. It is an essential resource for children on the autism spectrum who struggle to interpret social hierarchies or find themselves overwhelmed by the 'unwritten rules' of the playground. Rather than offering empty platitudes, Emily Lovegrove provides a toolkit of practical, psychological strategies designed to help children understand why bullying happens and how to manage it without losing their sense of self. This guide focuses on building genuine self-confidence and physical presence. It covers everything from body language and 'staying cool' under pressure to understanding the motives of peers. It is most effective for children aged 7 to 15, offering a scaffolded approach that moves from simple awareness to complex social navigation. Parents will find it a valuable ally in transforming a child's role from a passive victim to an empowered individual who knows their worth.
