An Aspie kindergartner was ridiculed by teacher and his fellow classmates were asked to vote him out of the classroom.
CBS: Melissa Barton says Morningside Elementary teacher Wendy Portillo had her son's classmates say what they didn't like about 5-year-old Alex. She says the teacher then had the students vote, and voted Alex, who is being evaluated for Asperger's syndrome -- an autism spectrum disorder -- out of the class by a 14-2 margin.

I am high functioning autistic and remember receiving similar treatment when I was in kindergarten in the early '70's. People wonder why so many kids grow up to be school shooters. Well, this might be one reason - a child spending his or her lifetime being constantly picked on at school - even by so called teachers.

This is one reason why we need the Autism Education Center like the one that is going to be started in Panama City, Florida http://www.autismeducationcenter.net
