They don't know any more what it's like to be autistic than a tortoise knows what it's like to be a dolphin.

Actually, you might find that at home they're bullied themselves. I worked with a female bully, also built like a tank... and she was married to the bully I spoke about who I reported. Everyone knew he cheated on her a lot. And knowing how he was, he probably gave her a very hard time. I remember seeing her with a black eye once. She said she got drunk and fell over. I often wondered.
Oh I’m very gd at feeling sad for myself just no one else lol
Come on Mod, please. Okay... I'll admit that I cheated in the OP, and I'm sorry about that. But I actually put an asterisk in the above comment. It said f*ck. Should it have been 2 asterisks? F**k?
Whats-His-FaceYeah, me too. Or when I do feel sad, I still doubt whether I really feel sad, and subsequently get stuck in a vicious circle :-|
I can actually say I do struggle with empathy lol I know how I should feel and well I just don’t
In my last place of work I was in regular contact with three bullies. All three were well built and could probably flatten me with a single punch.
The man had an athletic build and bullied other people more than me. The most he did to me was shout at me when I didn't do the right thing or took too long over certain tasks. Others, and this includes both staff and clients were visibly scared of him.
The two women bullies were built like a tank and I could picture them at home running a women's borstal.
I've seen it around, but never actually watched it. Great!
'People with autism don't feel empathy.'
'Oh, **** off!!!'
Haha!

Apologies to those who've seen this before (or those who don't like swearing):
You may be too young to remember it, but there was a TV series in the '70s called 'Kung Fu'. The hero was a quiet, unassuming Shaolin monk who was trained in the true spiritual philosophy of martial arts - using his skills defensively rather than offensively. I always loved it when some bully or other attacked him, and he simply fended them off - often, as in Tai Chi, using their own strength and force against them. All three seasons - 62 episodes - are available on YouTube. Here's a taster...
Or maybe you're just more intelligent than to resort to violence and abuse. There are other ways. One of the worst bullies I ever worked with - not towards me, but towards the learning disabilities people in his 'care' - was suspended after I and some others blew the whistle on his activities.
I always imagine getting my own back on bullies but never act as I’m a wuss lol
Nope. Tall... but skinny. And I don't think I give off much of a 'don't mess with me' vibe. I get a lot of wish fulfillment from films like 'A History of Violence' or 'The Equalizer', where the quiet, unassuming, wimpy-seeming types suddenly take on all-comers and win
Thanks, Cassandro. Apart from a little slip on Wednesday evening - half a bottle of wine, which subsequently became a bottle-and-a-half of wine - nothing else for 9 days. I'm finding it easier to stop for long periods, and feel more physically and mentally lousy after a slip. It's hard to think of not ever drinking again because I enjoy it. At the same time, I can't just have a pint and call it a day. Once started, it usually keeps going until I'm asleep.
That means nothing lol I’m 6 ft broad shoulder big chested and quite big arms and yet I’ve been bullied all my life up until now at the age of 31. No matter ur size if u feel like a victim bullies can sense it and that’s what u’ll b.
My apologies. I have this mental image of you as a broad shouldered well built person. Who bullies would think twice about tackling with.
I am a physical wimp.
Whats-His-Face said:But I totally see what your saying about NT’s think they know all
Yes. Another common one... 'Are you sure? You don't look autistic.'
