AmyNelson writes "Many parents and educators are learning more about autism and asperger's syndrome as international numbers of these conditions have risen dramatically in recent years.
UK, January 26, 2006 (XTVWorld.Com) -- There is great speculation as to why, and a new dedicated news service aims to bring all the latest developments to parents, professionals, and teachers, on a daily basis.
The service is free and is launching with an exclusive interview with a mother whose son was mistreated in school and is taking legal action.
The interview begins - Imagine watching your child locked in
a room banging their head against a wall and screaming in pain, how would you feel?
Outrage, disbelief?
What if the child was only 9, was autistic, and had been locked in that room by a teacher?
Would you be horrified at viewing such treatment?
That is how Christine Trueman felt as she watched her autistic son in a video filmed by his school of his time locked in a room as he screamed to get out and banged his head against the unpadded wall. Still distressed from the incident three months ago
she said "It was the most horrible thing i ever saw".
