Sounds quite unpleasant :(
What are some telltales of that happening?
I have no idea why that is happening. Everyone is just sabotaging, talking bad, spreading rumors and being so unfriendly to each other.
There was a case, while i was in hospital, that parents wanted to kick me from school because me and my autism according to the petition, is a threat to other students (note i was the bullying victim of the class) over half of the class' parents signed. They claimed i was randomly attacking, stabbing, and kicking students down stairs!!
I'm so sorry that shit like that is still happening. As an (as-yet undiagnosed) autistic child, I was in the same boat. Bullies use their "strength in numbers" to have a gaggle of friends agree to lie against a lone victim, perhaps one who's already known to struggle with emotional regulation. It's nearly impossible to convince anyone of your innocence when other kids weaponize your weaknesses like that. Maybe you threw a chair against a wall in class one day, and now the school administrators are ready to believe that you'd escalate to actually attacking someone (even though you don't have a history of hurting anyone. Just inanimate objects. Because believe it or not, some of us do have some degree of self-control.)
I've been there, and I know what absolute bullshit is possible for someone like us. I'm livid on your behalf.
Seeing red baseball caps with "Make America Great Again" on the front are a pretty good sign it's happening in your area.
