As the mother of a child with Asperger Syndrome this kind of attitude angers me to no end. What you think may be a bratty child in reality may be a child unable to communicate correctly on how they fill or how their environment affects them. Just because a child throws a tantrum doesn't mean that child is a brat. I'm sick of hearing sickening statements like "All that child needs is a good spanking".
