The child is autistic. What is the adult's excuse?
If an adult laid their hands on my child like that for pointing at them, they would regret it.
“The child is autistic.”
SO FREAKING WHAT!!
There are kids all up in that school with diabetes, asthma, cerebral palsy, heart conditions, cancer, blood disorders, the list could go on and on.
Those children all have to behave in class so why do autistic children get a free pass? It’s not fair to the other children who do have to behave.
Also in the real world? Autistics who misbehave can and do get arrested for disorderly conduct and/or assault. So they had better learn now as a child to stop the shit or else.
