I don't have Asperger's, but oh yes, I was bullied a lot as a child. I did have some friends at school, but I was definitely a target for the bullies. They were the stereotypical "Mean Girls" type and to this day I have some problems interacting with other women. By the age of 11 I was already starting to withdraw from people, and when I was 16 I actually dropped out of school because I was sick of dealing with the nasty ppl there. I haven't had much faith in people since that time. I know there are a lot of kind people out there, but my experiences have made me very wary. Even "Mean Girl" types can be friendly at times, you know? You start to think maybe they're okay after all...and then they revert to type and you're worse off than ever. So maybe I'm paranoid, but maybe I had some reasons to be that way.
