One day at high school, when I was about 16, incessant bullying push me to breaking point; autistic meltdown. After a few seconds of throwing tables and chairs in all directions I stormed out of class to go home. As I left the room I caught sight of my year-level coordinator approaching. I'll never know why he chose to ignore his own rule that no-one approach, talk to, or touch me if I'd had a meltdown but he paid for it. When he touched my shoulder I simply spun my arm round like swatting at a fly, then continued on home without looking back.

If you're wondering why this was bad for me, try explaining that his concussion was caused by a condition which even I wouldn't know about for another 15 years!

Not easy!!

Ditto, only I was 10 years old at the time. I'm terribly sorry for what happened to you, I feel your pain. It took me years to allow someone to touch me after that experience.

Impotent Rage and Shame- I didn't tell my father about it until I was 25 and didn't tell my mother until I was 40.
