#Autism: When teachers are the bullies

I wanted to share this video with you all. This video is by a man named Stuart Chaifetz and is in response to to his son Akian being bullied by his teachers at school. This is so important to watch because Stuart is making this public in order to shine the spotlight on what is happening to kids with Autism while at school. Obviously not all teachers and schools are a problem but Stuarts story is not uncommon at all and that’s really sad.

Please watch and share this video and help Stuart in his quest to end bullying. He is handling this very, very well and with a great deal of tact and class, which is much more than these teachers involved deserve. I have crazy mad respect for Stuart because not only is he taking the high road but also holding those involved accountable for their actions.

I don’t know Stuart Chaifetz personally, but I don’t have to know him to understand and support his cause. As many of you know, Gavin and Emmett’s experience with the public school system was very similar to what Akian was subjected to by his cruel and heartless teachers, especially in Gavin’s case. This is very personal to me and I think it’s an eye opener to all parents, teachers and anyone that considers themselves a human being.

This type of cruelty is absolutely unacceptable and anyone involved in such abuse of children with special needs should not only be ashamed of themselves but also be prosecuted. That’s just my personal opinion.

Please watch and share. Below, please find all of Stuarts information.
