I was bullied as a teen.  I felt so bad about myself that I dropped out of high school.  I suffered from night terrors.  I strayed far from the life I wanted.  I learned I have autism at age 27 when my son was diagnosed.  Despite my openness about our autism, my public speaking to help educate others, and my involvement at school, my son is bullied.  I want to see this stop.  I have been silent too long and I will be silent no more.
