I saw a shocking story on the Dr Phill show about a school that is being sued for damages and abuse of children with Autism.

Is this an epidemic that has suddenly occured? Why is this happening to Our children?

That's terrible! What kind of mean old crook would do an inhumane thing like that?! :x :x

I have no idea what is happening to what you refer to as "Our children", but this is stupid and insane!!

There was a thread about a horror school:

I'm happy to say my 2 sons with Asperger's have brilliant support at their school.

It could just be that people have become more privileged and sue-happy. Schools used to hit kids for writing left-handed...now what do you think schools of that time period would have done to unruly autistics?
