I have a niece and a nephew who both have Asperger's. This just makes me want to throw up.

My daughter has autism, and if a teacher did that, not only would I have her job, she would be afraid for her life...

Jen

I don't even know how I would react if someone ever did this to my son. to do this to any child would be cruel but to do it to one who already has difficulty with social skills and making friends? That's just unthinkable to me. This story just makes me ill.

That teacher has been voted out of the gene pool. ASSHAT!!!

Thanks for the citation. And kudos (*looks at floor*). And, most importantly, for spreading the word that this kind of behavior is FUCKING WRONG, and telling people what to do about it.

The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network has an extensive call to action that emphasizes a respectful (damn it) attitude in our communications of protest, so that we will be taken seriously:

She was not charged with emotional child abuse. The teacher got away with it... I think I'd be on a manhunt if that were my child. If the parents decide to hunt her down, I'd help.
