About this title

Synopsis

Many children and adolescents with high-functioning Autism and Asperger Syndrome are easy targets for chronic, frequent and severe bullying due to their unique behaviours and characteristics. Perfect Targets takes an honest look at the different types of bullying and the actions adults must take to curb bullying, thereby helping to prevent the often lifelong effects of this insidious form of behavior on victims. Practical strategies and solutions at the school, class and individual level are presented.
