Parents of a 6-year-old Georgia boy with autism are speaking out after their son was suspended for biting his sandwich into a gun shape and pointing it at a classmate during lunch. The incident occurred while the boy's parents were away from school, and they claim the school failed to take necessary accommodations for their child's behavior. The family is urging schools to provide more support and understanding for students with autism who may exhibit unusual behaviors. They argue that suspensions can be traumatic for these children and should be avoided whenever possible.
