I'm a person with ASD and a speech impediment who has also endured bullying in school. It got so bad that I had to switch schools.
My literal nature, "odd" interests and problems with face recognition (prosopagnosia) did not help me make friends at all. It all made me stand out and not in a good way.
In my experience the worst bullies were female. Lady drama is what I call it. I have avoided workplaces where most of the employees were ladies for this one reason. -- I have never been bullied at work.
Bullying has left an indelible mark on me. There is nothing harmless about it.
