“If the majority of the people posting thought jumping off a bridge was all right I suppose you would agree with them.”

Obviously, you have no idea what I was talking about in my post to another FReeper.

I understood your post ,I just disagree with you. Mind you, I am not talking about grown, nonverbal, autistic men and women with superhuman strength, I am talking of little children who with proper discipline and training could be taught to associate with their peers and become useful if not highly productive citizens.This will never happen if they are kept in secluded classes where they never interact with other normal children. Schools that do such are providing autistic children with inadequate education. Autistic children would be better off being tutored at home than being sent to special education/daycare.

Public schools are like public health care. Those who actually need help to become educated receive none. It’s considered a waist of tax dollars to educate autistics. In England people with bad teethe also receive no help. It costs to much to fix bad teeth. I think any school district which gnashes its teeth at integrating high functioning autististics( those who talk and are quiet) should be forced to forfeit all the tax dollars, they have ever taken from the family with interest.
