It is a shame that stories like that are the only times that Asperger's Syndrome gets mentioned. Worse than that, the studies about it go back 60 years or so, as I recall, but idiots still pretend that it does not exist. That's fine. They can throw the book at this kid for something that the school could have prevented by simply allowing him to call home whenever he felt the need. It's unclear to me why they should be able to prevent a 15 year old from calling his parents anytime he feels the need. If they don't trust him to not call someone else, by all means dial the phone for him...but for him to have to ask permission, to address something they've already acknowledged, introduces the potential for conflict.
