The only reason I wasn't invited back for another year was because I decked a guy that was teasing on of our autistic kids (I wasn't fired only because the kid's parents fought like hell to keep me on). I guess I shouldn't leave out that I spent a night in jail for that...no charges pressed so I'm not totally clean for that. I mean seriously...an AUTISTIC KID! I soooo hate people.

I have an autistic cousin. Though I don't seem him often (lives in another state), I think I would have reacted close to the same way that you did.
