"Bullying doesn't just leave emotional bruises—it steals confidence, silences voices, and shapes how autistic children see themselves," says Trautwein. "This conversation is overdue. Parents need practical, trauma-informed strategies to protect and empower their children—and I'm here to deliver them."
