Abstract
How does an autistic, cognitively impaired 11-year-old end up charged with felony assault? Zakhqurey Price, who lives and schools in Arkansas with his family, learned on October 30, 2009, when, as his autism flared, two school staff members cornered and tried to subdue him, after which, the more he refused, law enforcement was summoned. The 11-year-old was afterward arrested, booked as a juvenile, charged with felony assault, and suspended for 12 school days.
