As I've just described above, time out in a quiet room can be effective, but for 'normal' children. Autistic children's brains are wired differently; they see the world differently and they interpret events differently. while the teaching assistant has apparently had years of experience with this girl, she is sorely lacking in training in what to do. Something the judge has roundly criticised the school for.
