24. What does charging the boy solve? It won't cure his autism, and punishment
is not an effective means of changing behavior in children with autism.

I wonder if the school had an effective behavior plan in place for the child and how well the aide was trained.

I hope the local chapter of the Autism Society can help the family. Shame on the ignorant D.A. who filed the charges. Sounds like the Autism Society needs to hold a news conference outside of his office.
