EVERYONE. Hes making a pretty clear statement, tbh. While I agree that someone publicly shaming their disabled (or even typical) child is a disgraceful thing, what you are describing sounds more like the mom had a mental breakdown. You are the reason your son does those things. Would you care if he wet the bed and poops in his bathwater, cant talk and doesnt understand what you are trying to express, runs out in traffic, doesnt understand that certain things can hurt him or others, pushes children off jungle gyms? You have no clue what it is too realize, and YES grieve, because your child will never have a comfortable existence, and may never even go to school much less graduate. The problem here isnt the teachers, most of whom are going beyond duty for the children. Does it mean we love our children any less?! A study was done looking at ability to empathise between: Neurotypical- Neurotypical people, Neurotypical-autistic people, and Autistic-autistic people. If the mother had the nerve to publish that content, she should deal with the consequences! Changing a 5, 10, 15, 20 year olds diapers because they dont have the ability to be potty trained. Beacuse its impossible to meet everyones needs/expectations in the system as it is and we do get frustrated when parents dont seem to realise that their kid would get more time/support in a special education unit then we can ever give in mainstream class. She cries that even though her son is happy and safe, he isnt the child she thought shed have. Shame on you for trying to shame another autism mum. Im too smart to be Autistic. Well, bitch, because the normal child can do the most basic things in life. Surely we have to bring it back to the child first and foremost.it made me very sad to watch this childs needs clearly not being met. I sincerely hope you are able to shelter him from that, but I need to tell you that its not guaranteed, and even if it is for your son, its not for every Autistic child. There are lots of gentler ways to tell our stories and deal with our troubles. K thanks. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/cb\/Handle-an-Autistic-Child%27s-Behavior-Step-31.jpg\/v4-460px-Handle-an-Autistic-Child%27s-Behavior-Step-31.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/cb\/Handle-an-Autistic-Child%27s-Behavior-Step-31.jpg\/aid4929972-v4-728px-Handle-an-Autistic-Child%27s-Behavior-Step-31.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"
