14-year-old with autism: How I coped with bullying
A 14-year-old boy has made a film about his experience of being bullied just for "being different".
Ryan Wiggins, who was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of ten, said the bullying started "as soon as he started school".
He made the film Tomorrow, with the Anna Kennedy Online charity, to support other young people with autism. The film is a combination of his experiences and those of other victims of bullying.
Ryan said his advice for any younger people with autism it to: "Talk to someone because it won't get better if you just leave it".
He hopes the video will raise awareness about people struggling with the syndrome.
