Bullying can be stressful for the parent and the child. No parent wants to hear that their child is being bullied. For children with autism, there may add confusion about how to communicate with a bully or how to report it.

On MyAutismTeam, the social network and online support group for those living with autism, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Bullying is one of the top 10 topics most discussed.

Here are a few question-and-answer threads about bullying:

• How did you document, protect and proactively address the bullying?

• Has anyone else noticed all the memes and hateful comments online about autism?

• Have you had to fight a school to address your child's needs?

Here are conversations that have taken place about bullying:

• I spoke with the principal of the school yesterday concerning my Level One Bullying Complaint.

• My son told me on Friday that another kid bothered him.

• My child was removed from social interaction.
