Bullying and inclusion are not two separate conditions, but the end points of a continuum. While bullying can lead to massive psychological and physical diseases, inclusion on the other side paves the road to a healthy personality development. But inclusion is not simply a passive tolerating of the presence of a physically or mentally different individual, but an active and continuous process. Inclusion is not simply being allowed to "be there", but always is an invitation, request and encouragement to participate in social interaction. Three things become clear by the new socio-psychological perspective. Firstly, why autistic people have a high risk of becoming victims of bullying. Secondly, why bullying can have particularly profound effect in people with autism. And why in autistics inclusion is important for the development of a healthy personality.
