OMG....WHY in the HELL would you do that to ANYONE??? Let alone a five year old. Let's get that bitch teacher in front of US and we can parade by her and and tell her why SHE's not special...and why she's a spoiled, self-centered witch who should be scrubbing sewer pipes with her tongue!
This kind of thing makes me fear for when Baby Mo goes to school in - GOD help me - 3 more years. Cuz dood, they don't want to tangle w/ my sister on that sort of thing. o.0 Or any sane parent.
One of the guys at work has an autistic child and he's told us the kind of things people do to his son or say to him because they think he's a "bad" child.
Both of my nephews have different manifestations of autism and one of them was labeled 'bad' by his first grade teacher. (I saw her a couple of years after S was finally diagnosed/screened and I told her that he wasn't 'bad', that he had a form of autism. She didn't look like she believed me, so I suggested she stop being an ignorant, close-minded...BAD teacher and inform herself on the issue. Pretty much in those exact words too)
*snickers* I knew you would notice. I was a little tired of it, have been for a while. I spent an afternoon browsing through the designs and colors one afternoon. This is as close to what I want as I'll get for now.
What a horrible woman!!! I can't believe she is a teacher. No one should have to suffer that indignity, especially a 5 year old. What happened to teaching tolerance and acceptance?
I'm sending a card to school with my daughter tomorrow to have all her classmates sign. The poor baby, can you imagine how he felt standing up there hearing his classmates tell him he was disgusting and annoying?
That would seriously harm any child, autistic or not. The story makes me want to alternately weep and start a letter-writing campaign to have that teacher's credentials pulled so that she can no longer work with children as she's clearly incompetent to do so.
That's the part that really broke my heart. The mom said he wouldn't eat dinner. That she found him in the middle of the night in his bed, awake, rocking himself repeating, "I'm not special. I'm not special." *teary*
and how many 5 yr olds know/use the word 'disgusting'? They had to be repeating what the teacher said.

I work at a University where autistic kids are evaluated/diagnosed and you don't do that kind of thing to 'normal' kids, much less an autistic child.
