Indiana teacher awards autistic boy 'annoying male' trophy

A school district in northwestern Indiana has issued an apology after a special needs teacher awarded an 11-year-old autistic student a trophy naming him the “most annoying male” of the school year.

As someone who falls on the spectrum, I despise these kinds of people. A person with autism often struggles to understand social situations and needs all the help and encouragement they can get. Officially calling an autistic boy "the most annoying boy in the entire school" is a massive blow to their self-esteem and I have only three things to say:

If you don't like dealing with people with autism, why the hell are you a special needs teacher?

If you don't know how to deal with someone with autism in a way that won't traumatize them, who let you become a special needs teacher?

The fact that the school's considering terminating the teacher is nice and all, but if they handed out a "most annoying girl" trophy to an autistic girl the school would be throwing the teacher to a mob of angry parents, feminists, and advocates.

If that was my son, they would be digging that trophy out of that teacher in the ER. This is disgusting. I can't even explain the damage they have done. It's going to take years for that kid to learn how to speak in public, so what do they think this is gonna do to him?
