Cousin has reported the bullying to his superiors. They look
strict, but they turned out to be very supportive, especially since
he works hard and is the only clerk handling certain intellectually
challenging tasks. His unit is investigating the case. He has been
informed that he will not be discharged and that intentionally
triggering epileptic fits could be considered assault or even
attempted murder. Classmate has not updated me on her autistic
brother.
Thanks for much, OranDe, for the helpful advice. Eac too. To the
rest, I guess most of you condone bullying and/or are prejudiced
against people with physical disabilities and special needs. People
who get over their prejudice and get to know my epileptic cousin
and my classmate's autistic brother describe them as talented and
hardworking, with amazing character. If they were not bullied and
discriminated throughout their lives, they would have bright
futures ahead of them. I was also assaulted by an ITE gangster when
I was younger and faced discrimination when seeking a part-time job
to finance my university education. Employers would prefer
able-bodied local ITE students over me (I only applied for jobs
that I would be able to do despite my disability). I finally found
a job, emerged as a top performer and just got promoted. Just
trying to raise awareness of physical disabilities and special
needs, as well as bullying in NS.
