This is something that I was on the receiving end of as a child at a residential school I attended in the late 80s (1986-88) from the ages 8 1/2-11.

I have Asperger's Syndrome and feel I was often fair game for certain staff members there who seemed to have sadistic tendencies (though non-sexual).

Luckily, I was hardly ever bullied physically by any of the other pupils there.

I often have flashbacks to a lot of those horrible and inhumane treatments even today.

Was anybody else on here abused as children by school staff (teachers, classroom assistants or others), regardless of (dis)abilities, etc, if you don't mind me asking?
