Autism is such a severely misunderstood condition, and it is apparent this family has not been informed that caging children is not only inhumane, but thinking it a neccessity should cry out about a deeper problem. While I applaud those who make the choice to adopt, eleven children is a lot for any two parents. Autistic children add an entirely new twist to the mix.
As someone who has spent extensive time with autistic kids, they require much one on one attention. For them to have more than one or two autistic children, I wonder at the state agency that thought it was in the children's best interest to place so many of them in the same household.
