It’s a terrible, terrifying story. I couldn’t quite believe it as I read it. Could a bunch of zealous church goers really hold down an 8-year-old autistic boy and try to “exorcize” the autism out of his body by blows?
The story itself is frightening, but the post is most remarkable for the beautiful thoughts of its writer, himself the father of an autistic child.
Via Atrios.

Wow. Moms do the darndest things. At least it wasn’t part of a religious ceremony in a modern-day church.
