Plato's timeless wisdom, "Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle," rings especially true for neurodivergent children. These young minds, which think and learn differently, face a unique set of challenges. Not only do they often struggle to keep pace in traditional classrooms, but because of their learning differences they also tragically become targets of bullying.

A recent study published in the Journal of Attention Disorders revealed that nearly half of children with ADHD are victims of bullying. Other research confirmed children with autism are disproportionately targeted by bullies. It's a harsh reality that highlights the urgent need for greater understanding and compassion.
