If you can't/won't go to the website, the short version is that two parents who put their son with autism in a cage are each going to serve seven years in jail.

The shame of it is that the cage they are going to be in will be superior to the one they put their kid in.

I heard about that story, and shared it big time. How many saw it, I have no idea, but it highlights the very real abuse that autistic spectrum individuals face every day.
