Aspie discrimination.

[catsidhe]

A young woman on the spectrum suffering discrimination and institutional bastardisation.

She is training to be a teacher of special needs kids. The teacher she was studying under in her placement was abusing 3yo autistic children, and she reported it. That report was eventually upheld, but this woman is being punished for it.

Amongst the first things that happened was that the principle of the school reported the accusation to the parents, as he is required to do by law. He then basically told those parents "... but the girl who is making these accusations is on the spectrum, so her testimony is worthless."

And the institutional punishment continues.

Asperger's isn't just a fashionable condition: people really are discriminated against for having it.
