    they have feelings like everyone else. they feel pain and humilliation like everyone else. lots of times it is locked deeply down and you dont see it but that does not mean that they have no feelings, only that they dont express them. or they may be feeling one thing, but it comes out as another because they are not so good with communicting such things to other people. they may seem more rude, abrupt than they really mean to be, they just try so hard it all comes out garbled in a rush. other times depending on the situation the kid may not even realize they are being made fun of. depends on what they were doing. or some times they wander so far into themselves that they are unaware of what is going on around them.
    it really depends on the level of autistism, what was being done, and what the kid was thinking about at the time.
    best to just do your best and that is all you can do.

    Children with Autism have feeling and emotions, too. They may not express their feelings like a “normal” person would but they do have feelings. Any child who would bully another child, with or without special needs, should be disciplined.

    Give them emotional trauma, make them hate lot of normal people and they go to the autism community and do “NT” bashing. I see lot of “NT” bashing in the autism communities.

    I know some autistic kids can lash out at you when you keep picking on them. They get so frustrated they attack. It’s how the express themselves. They might have meltdowns before going to school because they don’t want to go due to bullying.

    NT stands for neurotypical and it usually means people without autism. I hate the term because everyone is different and has their own problems. Normal is so over rated.
