Found this link to a magazine article at Turner and Kowalski's blog.It's an article about autism treathment from 1965 and it describes therapist screaming at autistic kids, hitting them and the aplication of Shock Therapy.
This is torture. This is a direct violation of the Universal decloration of Human Rights, article 5 - No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
The realy sad part is that these kinds of things still hapen at places like this.
Not only is this totally useless, but this is really harmfull.
This leaves me sick and really pissed off.

Yes there is a center in Massachusetts that still uses "shocks" to treat autism. It makes me sick...especially when I think of my kids..how anyone can justify treating another human being that way is beyond me.
