to be fair, sometimes autism doesn’t get noticed as quickly as it should, and so the parents might not have been as aware as they should have been. However that doesn’t seem to be quite the case here, the parents should have noticed that the kid is different, there are many signs, interestingly enough if your child is advancing quite rapidly in the earlier stages it can be a sign of autism, not brilliance. Difficulty with making sentences can be a sign too. I dunno the full situation, or how old kindergarten is anymore, but at the camp i worked at you some autistic kids would be mixed in the youngest group, i dunno if the parents aren’t aware or simply feel that it doesn’t matter at that age, but after that group they get separated from the regular kids. Most families now have both parents work, and so they don’t get to spent enough time with their kids to find out things that they would’ve found out had they been around more. However, what the teacher did is inexcusable and should be punished as much as the school can.
