MMX2010 Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 http://wakeup-world.com/2013/06/04/autistic-boy-discovers-gift-after-removal-from-state-run-therapy/ In yet another example of how an out-of-control Goliath state system can cause more harm than good, a teenage boy who was diagnosed with autism at a young age has risen to stellar heights after quitting the special ed system with the help of his concerned mother. State therapy specialists claimed Jacob Barnett would never tie his shoes, read or function normally in society. But the boy’s mother realized when Jacob was not in therapy, he was doing “spectacular things” completely on his own. She decided to trust her instinct and disregard the advice of the professionals. Instead of following a standardized special needs educational protocol, she surrounded Jacob with all the things that inspired passion for him – and was astonished at the transformation that took place.
thebeardslastcall Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I haven't watched the video yet, sounds like an interesting story. I just hope people don't miss the real point in this story. That is the wisdom of the kid's mother who stood up against bad advice coming from the 'authorities' and saved her child. She saved her kid from a miserable and deficient life. Props to her.
