Yallmean, I've read some stupid comments on this board over the yrs, and normally I just keep my mouth shut and don't say anything. That said, this topic hits home with me as I have a five yr old daughter who's autistic.

You say you have "close family members with autism" and that part of your profession deals with autistic kids as well. For your family members that have autism all I can is my thoughts and prayers go out to them and that the good Lord gives the parents of these children the strength to take it one day at a time and that these kids are showered with the love and compassion they deserve.

Knowing people with autism (whether it's a family member or a child of a friend or neighbor, etc) is NOT (let me repeat myself) NOT the same thing as your own child having autism and dealing with it 24/7 365 days a yr.

You say this dad should be more "engaging" with his child? That he (or any parent of an autistic child) should know what's going on in the class? Yallmean, you are clueless my friend!!!!! This dad could have gone to the class numerous times to watch what's going on, or spoken to the teachers about numerous topics (as you claim he should be doing), but do you really think these heartless teachers are going to tell him what they're doing to his kid when he isn't around to watch?

You have a problem with this dad recording these teachers without them knowing? If you had ANY idea what this dad was going thru and had some compassion for his situation, you'd realize that he was trying to find out why his autistic son was lashing out when this wasn't normal for him.

Even a young kid mentioned to him that his son cries a lot in class. So obviously this wasn't a one time thing with these teachers. His son couldn't tell him what was going on, and if you had ANY FREAKIN idea how frustrating that is for a parent trying to protect their child from harm you'd realize that you'll do what you HAVE to do to try and find out what the problem is.

"It's no excuse for him to say my kid cannot communicate"? Seriously? If this is how your mind works and this is where your compassion is my friend I would hate to think that someone like you is out there as a so-called advocate in the world of autism. Go get in another profession as this isn't about a job (which it is to you). Parents with autistic kids is a way of life and you either get this or you don't and you OBVIOUSLY don't get this nor how could you as you're NOT a parent of an autistic child. Thus you have NO right not to give this dad the benefit of the doubt when he's doing what he needed to do to try and find out what was going on with his son Akian.

"Teachers are human too"? Yes most are but given what's on that tape these teachers have NO idea how to treat another human being. What human laughs at making a 10 yr old autistic boy cry? Instead of having compassion for the teachers how about having some freakin COMPASSION for the young boy who's defenseless and can't stand up for himself??????????

If a teacher can't treat each of their students (especially autistic kids) with dignity and respect and compassion at the VERY minimum, than get the hell out of the class and let someone else teach the class. Sorry Yallmean, you're compassion meter is WAY off when you state that you "feel for these teachers who have to deal with this".

It also amazes me that you again have a problem with this dad taping the teachers. "Those words were said without them aware they were being taped". Pull your head out of the sand Yallmean!!!! I mean what do you think these teachers would say or do if they knew they were being watched? That's the whole point of this!!!!!!!!

They knew this young autistic child, nor any of his classmates, would be able to go tell on them, and they took advantage of the situation, and by doing what they did and said what they said, their TRUE colors showed what kind of human beings they are. And they call themselves "teachers"?

If this would have happened with my daughter, I can tell you not only would I sue the district, but it would have taken an army to restrain me from what I would do to those heartless-no compassion--coward--gutless--so called teachers.
