So you girls are going to pretend it wasn't being reported all over the place. Predictable.

I said “some”, Mall Cop. Your suggestion is almost kind. Congratulations.

Yes, if we entirely ignore the extensive documentation of his condition in the school’s possession we can safely return to blaming these desperate parents. Good call!

Seems to me some of the “pro-lifers/Christians” here have looked at this situation and concluded that disability is a character flaw requiring incarceration. It’s unclear whether they would simply place the kid in the general population with its foreseeable consequences or provide the expensive care he requires to him in prison.

Perhaps they should think of him as a former fetus(?).

Rad theory.

I dare you to read the mother’s post and tell me she was uninvolved with her kid. Whether a kid with these issues should be in a regular school environment is, as Swaye has also pointed out, a legitimate question. The mom had those doubts herself but no great alternatives.

You can’t counsel autistic kids not to be disabled, unfortunately. If you are charged with their education, it requires a fairly active and strategic approach.

we have autistic kids in our schools, neighborhoods, and communities.

None of them have almost beaten someone to death.

Hope this helps

“Most likely not realizing that his teacher was going against Brendan’s IEP, the teacher requested that Brendan’s Nintendo Switch be sent into school daily.

The group home’s behavioral analyst reluctantly and prematurely went along with this request. It was premature, because the IEP team had not been consulted.”
