Resumo

Pessoas dentro do espectro autista podem estar mais vulneráveis às experiências de bullying no ambiente escolar devido às próprias características do transtorno, especialmente aquelas relacionadas aos déficits sociais. Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo investigar qualitativamente através de estudo de casos múltiplos a compreensão e a experiência de bullying e suas relações com as habilidades de Teoria da Mente em cinco adolescentes com transtorno de espectro autista. Os adolescentes responderam tarefas de Teoria da Mente e de percepção e experiência de bullying, enquanto seus responsáveis preencheram um questionário sociodemográfico e de Levantamento de Características Clínicas. Os resultados demonstraram que os participantes distinguiram a maioria dos comportamentos considerados bullying ou de não-bullying, com exceção de alguns que não diferenciaram bullying de agressão e não reconheceram intimidação ou cyberbullying. O tipo de bullying mais experienciado foi o de exclusão social, seguido de verbal e físico. A conclusão é a de que parece haver relação entre os construtos, porém é necessária uma investigação mais ampla, incluindo outras variáveis que parecem ser importantes nesta relação, tal como idade, escolaridade e demais funções cognitivas.
