Jackson, nearly 8, will never set foot in Tisdale School again. His mother, who asked that their real names not be used, made that vow after her autistic, nonverbal son spent two weeks in the wrong classroom this summer.

 

The mom learned of the error when she went unannounced to the school to find out why her son was coming home every day in a diaper the size of a balloon, crying and hungry.

 

“They bring me to this room no bigger than this,” Jackson’s mom said, shaking in anger as she extended her arms the length of a closet. There, she said, she found Jackson sitting on top of a desk, banging his fists against his ears.
