Description

This study investigated the relationship between experiences of bullying and victimization with the traits of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in nursery school, elementary school, and junior high school children in one Japanese city. The parents of 8,396 toddlers and 1st–9th grade youngsters completed questionnaires. They assessed their children's ASD and ADHD traits and various forms of bullying and victimization experienced by their children during the past year. Ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that both ASD and ADHD traits were associated with all forms of bullying and victimization. Controlling for the effects of other independent variables, ASD traits were associated with all forms of victimization, whereas ADHD traits were associated with all forms of bullying and victimization except physical victimization. In addition, ASD traits indicated more potent effects on victimization than ADHD traits. Finally, ASD and ADHD traits differed in interaction effects for grade and gender.
