Autism Spectrum Disorders: Article Summary

1092 Words5 Pages

After carefully researching the topic “bullying”, I came across two very interesting articles that go into depth about bullying among children specifically those with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The articles I came across are titled “Bullying Experiences Among Children and Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders” and “Shedding Light on a Pervasive Problem: A Review of Research on Bullying Experiences Among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders”. Both articles focuses on children with ASD and how they are at a greater risk for being bullied than their typically developing peers.
Both articles share the definition of bullying as “a relationship problem that involves recurring hostile actions that occur within a relationship that involves a power …show more content…

The article “Shedding Light on a Pervasive Problem: A Review of Research on Bullying Experiences Among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders” contains little research in the article. There is only one table shown throughout the article which can be found on pages 1523-1525. This table gives the reader a summary of research that was done on bullying, victimization and perpetration in ASD. This gives the reader a chance to see some numbers and percentages and view how children with ASD are more widely affected than those without ASD. However, the article “Bullying Experiences Among Children and Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders” shows three different tables and has a wide variety of research all throughout the article (page 270-271). These tables show different areas of bullying. Table 1 shows how many times in the past month people have been bullied in the different four ways (physical, social, verbal and cyber). It is most evident after viewing that chart that verbal and social occur most often considering that those have less of a chance of being seen. Table two allows the reader to see the different mental health variables and table three shows “Binomial logistic regression results predicting victimization” as well as risk …show more content…

On page 272 in the article some of the ways teachers can help students is by creating as well as promoting positive environments and peer interactions. Another thing teachers and parents must do is provide structure in children's lives so that those negative interactions can not happen. As adults it is important that we protect those children from opportunities when bullying may occur. The article also states the importance of standing up for themselves.
Even though the article “Bullying Experiences Among Children and Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders” contains all that important material the article “Shedding Light on a Pervasive Problem: A Review of Research on Bullying Experiences Among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders” does a better job of describing the topic itself. This article goes more into depth about why children with ASD are at a greater risk of being bullied. As for the other article, it does share that information as well however, it is not as

This is evident when the author writes “...bullying is damaging and can be emotionally and psychologically devastating…” and “Step 1 - Be Aware and pay attention… Step 2 - Recognize it is a problem and don't ignore it…” The first piece of evidence explains that you can be emotionally and psychologically damaged from bullying and your self-confidence affects how you are emotionally so when bullied you won’t be able to do your personal best. The second piece of evidence is one of the many steps that explains how to deal with bullying and prevent it which can teach students at Baker how to prevent and deal with bullying allowing them to be more self-confident and do their personal best. “Bullying Epidemic: Facts, Statistics, Prevention” can really help Baker students be their personal best by informing students on how to prevent bullying and hopefully be less of it, which then boosts their confidence in both themself and

The purpose of the bullying section is useful for children because it gives them information and tips on how to talk to people about the situation that they are in and resources that they can access that can help them overcome being bullied.

Bullying has been named an “emerging public health issue requiring intervention” (Ansary, Elias, Greene, & Green, 2015, p. 27).
