OK I have read almost all of this and I am coming from the point of view as a mom with that kid. He was terrible, he destroyed everything............as a toddler. Because it took us a few years to really get that he will do these things with no notice. By 7 no it didn't happen. I also had two more babies underfoot by that time. They were two adults in a room with one child it sounds like it shouldn't have happened. By 7 they know what to watch for, they know how to physically pick him up and walk out there were two of them. Giving markers to a kid like that in someone else home?? NO. I mean geesh who does this? I'm sorry maybe I am weird everyone keeps talking how things can get outta control fast but there were two parents there it should not have happened. These are the reasons people look at autism and still cringe because parents are not getting off their butts. I could maybe see if there was only 1 parent but there was both
