Could more to be done to stop autism bullying?

Could more be done to try to stop children with autism being bullied at school?

That's the hope on World Austism Day, after a new survey found that 74% of parents of children with autism say their child finds break or lunch times difficult, or even frightening.

And 67% of children with aspergers report that they are taunted and bullied at lunch time.

Autism campaigner Anna Kennedy has teamed up with the Anti-Bullying Alliance for a campaign to highlight the problem.
