The police should have stabbed her tail in the other eye too!!! This is just crazy. I really want to hear her reasoning behind this one.
I just had to add -- one of my sons is autistic. My youngest daughter has just been diagnosed with Asperger's. My sister is autistic. Stories like this bring me as close as I'll ever come to wanting to go vigilante on an accused criminal.

Dearest mistergoodall,Reasoning of any sort recognizable to sane human beings will have nothing to do with this.

Dearest mistergoodall,
Why was this said;
"No charges have been filed and no names have been released".
This is from the link on the first post of the thread.
Where is the sanity of that statement?
Respectfully,

Steve I can't even say I can imagine how you feel, but no doubt this just did it for ya. Thinking of you and your family. This is just so sad for this little boy.
Relatives, for unclear reasons, waited more than 10 hours before calling 911, police said.
Cult? (Can't find the right word now, dang it).
It makes me incredibly sad when I think about the people afflicted with autism spectrum disorders who are not born into loving homes, who don't have caregivers open-minded and intelligent enough to learn what they are dealing with. /quote]
I have dealt with this, and it is horrible. The children try so hard to please their parents to no avail. By the time they come to me it's a building process. I always make a extra special effort with those kids to let them know I do love and care about them and what they do. Sometimes it feels like we, the academic staff, are the only ones who provide the child with the emotional and physical support needed. I know teachers who have incorporated lessons on how to do laundry into their everyday lesson just so a student could have clean clothing a clean coat to ware. One teacher would get a student off the bus, and take him to the room to change before the assistants brought the other students to the room. That way his classmates did not know he wore the same clothing to school everyday (an extra set of clothing must be kept at school in case of emergencies). Then they would wash what he wore to school, and he would ware it the next day. It was a good lesson because the students learned how to wash clothes, but still very sad. She even bought toothbrushes for all of the students, and had them practice brushing their teeth after the morning snack and lunch. I have seen some sad stuff, and it angers me. I often wondered if the parents would act the same way if their child didn't have ASD, but the reality is ASD or not no one should be treated like that. I have noticed that their is a real unfairness when it comes to the way parents treat their children with ASD. It seems the more money the family has the better the child is treated. I'm not sure if this is because their families are typically better educated then lower income families, or if upper income families have more hope because they can afford services for their children that are not covered by insurance or IDEA. What ever the cause I wish it did not exist, and that all children were treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.
