[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 579351, member: 11791"] Skip the simple answer of "bullying". It's more complex than that. MUCH more complex. Lack of early diagnosis and appropriate interventions and accommodations is probably the biggest single contributing factor. Some get neither, some get a diagnosis but not the proper interventions and accommodations. If the systems (school and medical) don't get you figured out before about the age of 7, a kid with complex issues (either something like Aspie, or a mix of dxes) ends up being badly treated by [I]school[/I] - by teachers, by the way the curriculum is designed, by the way "free time" is handled... all of that coming [I]before [/I]bullying really kicks in. been there done that. Lived with the severe depression, extreme anxiety, and psychosis... all secondary, and not one shred of it necessary. Even ADHD kids have a higher rate of anxiety and/or depression. Complex kids? In some ways, I'm surprised the numbers aren't higher. [/QUOTE]
