Best Buddies creates friendships, combats stigmas
This article is in response to a video posted by a father of a boy who has Autism. In this video he explains why he is outraged that his son’s own teachers were verbally abusive to their students and did not treat his son with respect.
This video demonstrates a continuing societal problem: discrimination towards people with special needs. I personally find it astonishing that people can bully others solely because that the person was born with something that makes them physically or mentally different. People have no control over the way they are born, so why should they be punished?
