You hear a slap, but you don't know exactly what happened because you have your back turned towards the person who did the slapping. What do you do? (you have to keep in mind that you cannot physically retaliate against the autistic children if they hit or slap you. that is considered abuse and sufficient grounds for firing) What would you do if someone spread rumors about you that tainted your professional image (l.e to your boss and colleagues) and affected your chances of employment?
