A man suffering from autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has gone to the Court of Appeal to hold a school and the government liable for him not getting an education suited to his condition when he was younger.

The 24-year-old and his foster mother filed a notice of appeal yesterday against the Kuala Lumpur High Court's decision to dismiss their civil action against Sekolah Menengah Pendidikan Khas Vokasional in Shah Alam, its headmaster Sazali Mohd Karli, the Education Ministry and the federal government.
