A 7 year old autistic child made a choice to attack? I just write you off as ignorant.
File a lawsuit - whah whah whah !!!!!!!!!!!!!
You sound like what you complain about.
I have a 5 year old in a class with a special needs child & a special needs 3 year old daughter at home. I will tell you FROM A CONSERVATIVE PARENT it is work dealing with a special needs child but we accept that she can not have free reign over anyplace she is at because she can’t always make good choices (one reason they are called special needs!)
But I am extremely unhappy that my son is forced to tolerate a violent & disruptive special needs child in his class. My son has been spit on, kicked & hit by this child and so have other kids. His teacher told us that the special needs child “has every right to be in the class & the school is working on how to make it work”.
We would not expect our daughter to be in a class that she was causing harm to other children and/or disrupting the education of other children.
Yes, autistic children do decide to attack others.
“In kids with autism, aggressive behavior is often used as a way to get attention, obtain something that they want, or get out of doing something that they don’t want to do. And some kids act aggressively merely because they find pleasure in acting that way and watching others’ reactions to their behavior. “

You know, one might almost call this list of reasons “character flaws”. Amazing. Autistic kids have those too.
