Re: ‘Who gets hit and doesn’t respond?’ Video shows school worker punching autistic b
When a six year old hits someone, he's told not to do it and given something like a time-out. Also, "functioning at a six year old level" doesn't mean "exactly like a six year old child in all respects"; do some further research into autism.
The tenor of your remark sounded rather overblown to me.
Again, one tends not to get outraged when a six year old hits. One imposes some limited punishment that conveys the inappropriateness of it.
The article states he functions at a six year old level. Six year olds know not to say a lunch table is for whites only. Unless of course he learned that at home or his father is constantly making excuses for his behavior. Six year olds are very capable of acting like respectful children.

!00% NOT an excuse for inappropriate behavior
