An Anchorage School District (ASD) teacher is accused of abusing an autistic child at Ptarmigan Elementary School in May.

According to a public criminal complaint document, Lynn Sherwood, 53, is charged with one misdemeanor count of child abuse for an incident in which she allegedly pushed an 8-year-old boy back into a doorway

Parents Nicholas and Katherine Armon identified that student as their son, now 9-year-old Austin Armon, who they describe as a high functioning autistic student attending classes in an integrated classroom.
