We here at RIFEC apologize in advance for the unsavory details in this story. However, autistic individuals are at far higher risk for sexual abuse largely due to their communication difficulties, preventing reporting of such abuses.

This is why professional training on proper preventative, de-escalation, and alternative behavior strategies are so essential to do education right by special-needs students in order to avoid maltreatment in schools by staff.

This is why it is so crucial to maintain constant daily dialogue with your children about their days at school and making them comfortable with bringing their problems to you. Or else abuses like this risk never being reported.

It is especially unacceptable whenever an adult abuses special-needs students.
If you cannot handle interacting with special-needs students in safe and civilized ways, then this is NOT the career field for you. Leave.

An unfriendly reminder that students with special-needs of all types are 2-3 times more likely to be the targets of bullying in schools than their physical and neurotypical peers.

We are human too. We have value. We have rights. And you do NOT have our permission to mistreat us because of how we are made. (6/6) Sincerely, –Joseph Evans, Head of Community Engagement. M.A. Ed. Autistic #AutismAwarenessMonth
It is not normal nor just for autistic children to be miserable at school. Your children have rights and resources for justice through you. They are not helpless and indeed have options they can use to defend themselves against mistreatment. (5/6) #AutismAwarenessMonth
Make it clear to your children that they are not burdening your day by sharing their problems with you. It is your job as their parents to help fix the problems they're having in school when they are being mistreated, especially if it is by adults. (4/6) #AutismAwarenessMonth
