Adolescents with autism are often vulnerable to bullying, which can result in behaving in improper or unsafe ways in the name of "friendship".  It is crucial to teach adolescents with autism what friendships look like and how to identify negative and aggressive behaviors from their peers. This topic may include finding opportunities to teach social skills, building awareness and self advocacy, and ensuring school awareness and education.
