Culture Student Suspended for Saying "21"

Neurotypical student suspended because an autist was interjected into a class of normal students. What the fuck is everyone supposed to do in math lessons?

"School is for learning - and not just subjects like English and math," said district superintendent Keith Wunderlich. "School is also about learning to work with people.

Unless you're autistic, in which case we'll declare the answer to any math problem you get wrong hatespeech.

So what happens on this guy's 12+9th birthday? Having a whole room of friends and family shouting the number as they congratulate him must be horrifying.

When most people think of autists and math problems, they picture a beautiful mind, with massive complicated equations written on everything. But for some reason I feel like this kid saw "what's 7x3?" on his cereal box and has been beyond help ever since.

Title is misleading. Looks like the 'tist doesn't like hearing the number 21 because it brings him flashbacks of the war a math problem he had trouble with. A bunch of boys would say 21 to him to rustle his jimmies.

If Chris were in school today, kids might get in trouble for telling him "sonic is dead" just the same.

Autism speaks and it says that math homework gave it PTSD

Seriously though what the actual fuck why is rain man here being mainstreamed

We had an sperg like this when my junior high was experimenting with mainstreaming. His trigger word was "robot" and if he heard it he'd start rocking back and forth and screaming hysterically. Naturally everyone went out of their way to say robot as much as humanly possible.

That guy and the man in this article shouldn't be in mainstream until they get over that. These people can not be high functioning if they freak out over trigger word's of course if the guy was deliberately provoking this man then he deserves to he suspended. Don't chuck autistic people into mainstream until they have their problems solved.

If those kids were actually bullying the autistic kid they're still little shits, though.

Have you seen this documentary? Being hard on autistics turns them into badass motherfuckers.

Geez, no wonder schools' going to hell nowadays.

I'll be very interesting to see what his folks will do on his 21st birthday.

Remember Connor had to retake the same basic math course at community college more than once? Autism indeed provides no guarantee of being good at math.

Or in Connors case anything.

"Twenty-one" is a really common number to hear, what with it being the legal drinking age and all. This kid needs therapy.

If those kids were actually bullying the autistic kid they're still little shits, though. What would the counseling even involve, other than "don't bully the autistic kid, please."

Depends on how bad the administration is. But given how they just suspend kids for saying numbers, then they're pretty terrible at their jobs to begin with.

The autistic kid's mother too. She's clearly trying to turn this situation into a pity party for her so that she doesn't have to tell her son "It's just a number, stop being upset."

The kids should troll the autist by saying "twenty" and then have a very long pause to make him shit himself in fear.

I want to hold that autistic faggot down and scream 21 at him over and over again while stomping on his face.

Why do they even allow autists to be in the same schools as humans?

If they weren't bullying this little vermin, they're shits.

who can answer what 12 + 9 is? i swear you wont be suspended for answering this question.

14/88.
Say yes to Eugenics.

 

[Muncie Anderson]

So what's the autist going to do two days from now?

It's Saturday, so he can hide in his room all day long until the 21st is over.

Just don't ask him which age you have to be to legally drink or buy alcohol, though.

Hey rainman! Twenty w-o-o-o-o-o-o-nderful cats ah ha ha. Do you like my impression of the count?

Bullshit. Nobody so spastic and unable to live like a normal person should even be out of a home. Get rid of the autistic subhuman. Keep the actual functioning human.

Tonya Johnston told WXYZ that her son, a student at Pierce Middle School in Waterford, Michigan, was sitting on a tour bus during a school field trip when another student prompted him to say the number "21," which he did.

The way this article's written makes it sound like the kid who said "21" wasn't even aware that this was even a thing and just did it because of a "Hey, I dare you to __" from kids that did know it was a Trigger Word as something that's common schoolyard horsing around.

Either this article is poorly written and that's not the case, or based off how the kid's mom says that this was the first she heard of this sort of thing happening and there's no mention that the administration has said anything to him before I'd buy that the kid who got suspended wasn't one of the kids regularly saying "21" to russle jimmies.

So, no more playing cards at break periods in schools then, like Blackjack? Lame.

I had that problem in grade school, but people told me to try and ignore it and I eventually did months later. (Back then, I didn't know I had autism.) Still, it is kind of dickish to keep doing that.

So if we say robot now you just boil on the inside?
