The teacher then emailed the videotape to colleagues who reported her to the school board. The teacher is now being defended by area parents as being a good teacher who was just finding the humor and the "teaching opportunity" of the moment. Penrod discusses the definition on bullying and offers her perspective as an Autism parent and former teacher. Viewer questions about toileting and self-injurious behavior are discussed.Autism Live is a production of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD), headquartered in Tarzana, California, and with offices throughout, the United States and around the globe.
