Yes, what she said is pretty bad, but you can't judge her unless you've had an autistic child yourself! That is a journey that hope to God none of us will have to experience! You dont know what it's like.
@TRal55 Plenty of mothers love their autistic children. There are however, a few sad members of homo sapiens, who completely lack tolerance, like this mother. If she had tried to understand her child, and go with the child, instead of trying to make a circle square, both of them might have enjoyed life instead.
@YouDabian oh come on, it was obviously one thought that she had one time. clearly, she's on TV talking about it, and has moved past it. She didn't go over the cliff. like i said, you just can't judge someone unless you've been in that same position. having an autistic child can be VERY challenging and if someone has a short fuse/short temper/neuroses those kinds of frantic thoughts find their way to the surface. was it OK to think that? Of course not! but at least she didnt DO it!
What the hell is wrong with people! How can you call yourself a mother and say something like that in front of your child. I have a severely autistic son. Sometimes I fantasise what it might be like to have the life I had before he was born, then I look at my son and can't imagine my life without him in it. As hard as each day is, he is the reason I get up every day even on the bad days, he is still the most miraculous thing that ever happened to me-I would never wish him dead. What a tragedy o
Some of you people absoluty make me sick! I am a mother to a Autistic 3yr old son who is non verbal and aggresive still in diapers yes he frustrates me but nothing he does makes me want to slap him or wish him dead. Those of you agree with the mother are sorley wrong having a special a special child is not a punishment but a blessing that God grants to certain people.
@sarahbelle988 You know,, that is a very good point! We tend to think just because the children don't seem to be paying attention, they are not listening. Many many times I talk to my son and think,, no way will he remember that,, surprise,, he remembered every single word I said. Just because they are not looking you in the eye and focusing in the "normal" way does not mean they hear everything. I learned this the hard way :( Thanks for saying that.
@sarahbelle988 But its OK that she is thinking it? How very hypocritical of you! Why shouldn't the child be granted a warning? I almost want to put that mother to sleep, but as civilised humans, we can't do that. In other words, I don't consider her civilised.
I have a sister with a very severe autism. Some of you see this as cruel, but maybe not all of you know what it's like. It's hard. I like this because it's human and raw. This is what goes on in the mind of *some* real families with autistic children. Sometimes I wish she could pass away so she could have peace. Sometimes she's so frustrating I want to slap her in the face. But I love her and that's why I'm still here. Love isn't always easy. Sometimes it's hard and requires sacrifice.
@sarahbelle988 Maybe you could benefit from learning just a tiny bit about what goes on in the autistic mind. But maybe you have a life of your own, and don't have time to read about it, despite your "love" for your sister..
@YouDabian you misunderstand my intentions and it's my fault, I didn't communicate myself well. Have you ever thought of someone poorly? Or wished their circumstances would be not as favorable? It may have been justified, or it may have not been, but you thought it nevertheless. This is my point. It's not right, but it's human to think these things. Admitting these things helps us to realize that we need to be better human beings. But hiding behind trying to look like the perfect people.....
@sarahbelle988 I am no saint. I do have a sibling, and we did have fights, but I never wished her any harm. That being said, you shouldn't treat an autistic child like a "normal" human being, treat her like an autist.
If I go cut woods in the forrest with a woman, I don't treat her like a man either. If I did, she would complain a lot about not being able to lift stuff. Much like an autist complains, when you expect them to do something that isn't natural for them.
@YouDabian you see this is where you have to be cautious when you analyze someone else's situation. What you say used to make perfect sense to me. But as my sister grew up (She's almost 22 and 2 years younger than me), I realized she was often hurt that she was being treated differently than her big sister. It hurts her that her parents don't let her wear make up, or go to the store by herself, in other words BE NORMAL. They can tell and they want to be treated like everyone else.
@YouDabian and never admitting our true feelings, only keeps them inside of us. I mentioned my feelings about my sister because I wanted to show that every family with autistic children thinks this. Actually EVERY family thinks it. If you have a sibling, then you know. Why should my feelings be any different with my autistic sibling be different especially if I want to treat her like a normal human being? Anyway, my point is that we need to be more transparent because it allows healing.
I'm like crying right now. Literaly like halve of my good friends are autistic and my best friend is. I fucking hate this women I have never felt so compelled to swear (I'm a goody two shoes 16 yr old Christian boy) but this woman fucking disgusts me her daughter understands more then she the mother thinks and could very well understand that u wanna kill her. In that case that little girl is beyond scared and can't even properly express it.
@ifp2o1 Its not hard to wish that so-called mother harm. I'd prefer to be born with Autism a hundred times, to be born with a cold stone heart like this "woman".
I can even make sense of what this clip and it's info graph are trying to communicate... maybe it was put together and uploaded by an autistic person. If that's the case, then GOOD JOB (overzealous clapping here)!!!
this woman i just watching bout killing her kid and herself..... thats pure evil, i have an autisum person in my class (they are in the average classroom, and not in the PALS class) He is so sweet, hes 14, he is the eetest person ever, hes normal, kids will grow out of all the babyish shit, hes my friend, him and i r pree tight, how could any one ever THINK about hurting an autistic child? they are everyday people like us!
@jazcor So I take it, you also think she is out of line, basicly. If her motherhood was a chess game, I'd say she has been check-mate for a while now. Poor child.
I don't want kids at all because healthy ones are like monsters, but I can't imagine having an autistic kid, how could anyone deal with that? Honestly I can understand why someone would want to put an end to the misery of dealing with an autistic kid. People can ride on their high horses until they are knocked off.
@Pontus900 Not everyone deserves to breathe, in her opinion. I don't condone murder, but if I was forced to choose, square minded monsters like her, would be among the first ones in the line.
People need to stop DISLIKING this video. An overwhelming number of dislikes means that this gets less views! Maybe disabling likes/dislikes for this video would be a good idea?
this woman NEVER should have said something like this while her daughter could hear her. taking this clip out of context doesn't make any difference here! she lets her disabled daugher know that life is only worth living for her other normal child, and gives her the impression that murder/suicide is a reasonable alternative to facing a difficult life situation. and it is frightening for any child to know that their parent is in such a desperate state of mind.
There was obvious context to understand what was going on. It wasn't ust snapshots of children crying and we don't know what it was, like in the full-length version of this vid.
She wanted a murder-sucide, and told the camera whilst her autistic child was there.
The person who posted this video should be ashamed of themself! This is a segmented clip from another video and conveiently leaves out everything else she has to say about her daughter and the struggles that they face. Autism Speaks is a fantastic organization that helps many people with autism.
@scrappdiggity Autism Speaks don't like it when autistic people such as myself speak out against them. They only want wipe us out with their eugenic bullshit. They do not speak for autistic people. How would you feel if an organization said you are worse than aids? And say's you only scream and through tantrums all day?
Its really easy to make a strong statement like this when you take statements out of their context. just like people do with the Bible, you are doing this with a clip of a video. why not show what the mom said after this clip ends, or even before.... this is manipulative & wrong.
that woman wanted to kill her child because she was too afraid to accept autism as a different way of living. instead she accepted it as a terrifying diseased disorder that needs to be eradicated because autistics function differently and everyone on earth functions differently. autism speaks needs to burn in hell for exposing autism as a terrifying condition that is worse than aids diabetes and cancer and needs to be fixed or cured.
What I don't understand is that Asperger's is a professional diagnosis, yet people still think that Asperger's is fake, or not autism. These are the same bigots that want to take Asperger's out of the autism category. Do you know how much problems that would cause? People will go undiagnosed, and won't get the proper help they need, like social skills, etc. That's why this "who and who's not autistic" argument needs to stop. It will make things worse for LFA's as well as high-functioning cont.
It's funny that back then, people will say that educated, rich blacks weren't really black. So what you're saying is the equivalent to that. >.< So go ahead, give me insults and call me a fake all you want, but that's not going to change the fact that I'm autistic. I'm not going to waste my time feeding a troll. I will just keep ignoring you, ableist.
It's not like I chose to be autistic. It's like homosexuality or being black. You're born with it, or it's carried in your genes, or it's not. People like you are no better than those homophobic religious bigots or the KKK. You know what? I'd rather die as an autistic than live a long life as an ignorant butthole of an NT like yourself.
How dare you call me sick in the head! How dare you make a false claim of me wanting abortion of a child. I'm pro-life, for your information. I would never abort a child, disabled or not, even if the pregnancy was under rape or incest. Autism is a SPECTRUM. Meaning there are different forms. That's like saying stage 1 cancer is not cancer. Oh, and I don't believe that autism is caused by vaccines crap. There is NO PROOf, you conspiracy theorists. cont.

These types of videos encourage bad parenting, sympathy for just the parents and no empathy for the child and what the child is going through.
All it does is encourage to hate your autistic child for sympathy. Then there are the parents who say shame on those who can speak, you don't have autism then.
Some of us can speak or type or both. How would you feel if you were limited, nobody understood your limitations and spoke poorly of you in front of your face all while you can HEAR IT?
im commenting to whoever is in the clip i jus watched.i feel your pain. no matter what everybody else is saying.until they can do and go thru your everyday life .they cant judge. just stay strong,keep faith in GOD,and jus know that GOD has a very special place in heaven 4 moms with autistic children. keep your head up your not alone. GOD BLESS
Stop trying to point out who's not autistic when you don't even know them. I am tired of being called a "fake," just because I can talk, write, etc. Middle-aged parents cyberbullying. Grow up, would you? You say I don't have autism, but you don't either, and you don't know a darn thing about it; saying who's autistic and who's not. A "fake" might be saving your butt from cancer later. So think twice before you point fingers at anyone.
@BaltoLoneWoolf I see Autism every day, I deal with it constantly. You don't have it. The fact that you are writing (arguably) intelligently on the internet proves you don't have it. The fact that you can comprehend the meaning of the word "Cyberbulling" guarantees you don't have it. The ability to robustly claim you have Autism proves with out a doubt that you have no idea what Autism even is.
and having unprotected sex. What I don't get is a 35-year old that's ranting like a porn-addicted 19-year old male living in his parents' basement that can't get laid, when you should be trying to help your child. Anti-cure is not anti-treatment. There's.. a.. DIFFERENCE. >.<
Here we go again with who and who's not autistic bullcrap. Guess what? You make me sick too, hun. Don't say you want to drive your child off a bridge because he or she is hard to raise. Every child is hard to raise, let alone an autistic one. Why did you decide to have a child then? If your child is preventing your self-centered life from getting a bagel, send him to adoption. Tell that to the parents that can't get a bagel and coffee because their child is out partying cont.
@BaltoLoneWoolf You are sick alright, sick in the head. The only bad parent here is you if your child is unfortunate enough to have you as a parent. Autistic parents give up their entire lives to take care of their children, they sacrifice in silence as people like you leave their children to strangers to raise or get an abortion in order to skirt their responsibilities. You are a horrible person.
And another thing. You would have your child "better off dead?" You say "don't pass judgment on me," but you know saying stuff like that hurts people like us. YOU obviously don't know what it's like having people tell every day that you and your kind should die. An autistic person right now might have hung themselves with your comment. You can be sent to JAIL for that. That's
@BaltoLoneWoolf Shut the fuck up. You don't have autism and you're not a parent with a child who has autism. You have no idea what real autism is, if you did you wouldn't be posting on the internet claiming you have autism. There was autism before there was ASD, and all those low functioning people didn't go away when they created a broad diagnosis (ASD) that includes everyone who's even slightly anti-social. People like you make me sick.
@mwallace2222 People like me who see lives and deal with severely autistic children every day are the only advocates that truly autistic individuals have. I will fight against their misrepresentation until my dying breath. I wish I had HELP making people know what real autism is. I wish I could FORCE people to UNDERSTAND what it's like to have a truly autistic child. But, I would never wish on anyone, not even my worst enemy, the life of being the parent of a TRULY autistic child.
a fight and I don't feel like getting into one. I DO feel the parents' suffering for their child, but if they just have thoughts of killing them, that's going off the deep end. That's why I want to help them and their children. The right way. No child is perfect. You can't expect them to have the American Dream to have a 9-to-5 job, get married, have kids, etc. Life is not like that. The American Dream is a fairy tale. Wake up from it. I'm done fighting with you. Bye.
Don't tell me where and when I have a right to say something. I did not say that she WAS going to kill her child. She was fantasizing it. There's a difference, but it is still wrong to say that. What the heck are you talking about "do our kids care about typical peers?" Inclusion is a better option so kids won't be segregated in MD classrooms where all they do is count money, so they can later end up in an institutiion. I was just making a point. I am not here to start cont.
Frankly, Aspergers and Kanner's classic Autism are nowhere near the same thing. I deal with screaming yelling and moaning, morning noon and night. I watch my son bang his head bloody, and I deal with blood and fecal matter several times throughout the day. Just because you think know, doesn't mean you do.
Well, of course you get a say. But if you're sitting there, able to type this then you apparently have a high level of functioning. Frankly, Aspergers and Kanner's classic Autism are nowhere near the same thing. I deal with screaming yelling and moaning, morning noon and night. I watch my son bang his head bloody, and I deal with blood and fecal matter several times throughout the day.
If she wanted to make her daughter and her life better, she should be fighting for inclusion and proper accomodations in schools, not be wishing to kill her child. That's not going to help anyone living with autism, or her. How the heck is this hate speech shown on national, possibly international television, but if I was on television talking about autistic rights, everyone would turn the other cheek? I thought this was 2011, not the '50's in the South.
Inclusion? Are you serious? Do you think our kids care about "typical peers"? Seriously, you have no idea what you are talking about. BTW, she did not say she was going to kill her child, for those of you taking this out of context. NONE of you who post this ignorance know what it's like to feel as though you and your beautiful child would probably be better off dead. If you walked in our shoes for even a day, you might have a right to say something.
@shawnasmith1 I am right there with you, my wife and I have an 8 yr old autistic daughter and these people claiming to have autism and yet are posting messages on youtube make me sick. Because of people like these it makes it harder for us to get real help with our autistic children. You tell someone you have a child with autism and they'll tell you of a nephew or cousin who has it and how they are in college or something.... the introduction of the ASD diagnosis has been a nightmare for us.
I like how non-autistic people say that it is okay or normal for parents to think like this. How would you like it if white people say that it is normal to have thoughts of killing black people? Or straight people were fantasizing of killing gay and transgender people? I bet you wouldn't be making the same response. Just because the mom couldn't find an adequate school for her daughter doesn't give her a get out of jail free card for saying that. It is still hate speech.
stupid shit...I lov emy sun with autism, he made my life worth it because who he is and his autism only helped because it makes him more pure and life more interesting. Maybe in the beginning when you don't know what autism is, that you can be desperaten but videos like this should be forbidden, it's not true and als does encourage bad parenting. O, this is really crappy and pathetic stuff!
This video makes me want to cry. I have Asperger Syndrome but I know it's not at all as terrible as low functioning Autism, and I can't imagine what it must be like to have an autistic child. I don't fault the mother for having moments of desperation. But what bothers me is that she would never have gotten away with saying this if her child had Down Syndrome. Or if her child was a quadriplegic or disfigured. People act like autistic people don't have an iota of humanity in them.
Yes. They assume we can't hear what they are saying or we don't understand meanwhile it's playing over and over again like a tape what our beloved parents are saying. How would that person like to hear their own parent talk that way about them and you're just supposed to be okay with it.
Also, we do have feelings. Just because we're not talking doesn't mean we can't hear you. Notice the meltdowns? Some of that has to do with pinned up frustration over delayed emotions.
From all the feedback about this documentary, I have no desire to watch it. I love my daughter with all my heart and have never once thought of killing her or abandoning her. We take it day by day and the more I learn about who she is the more I love her. She's only two and a half. I look forward to watching her blossom into the best person she can be.
Oh btw some help for you guys: cut dairy and gluten from your diet. Some people may still not know but that stuff just makes the symtoms a lot worse. Also I can speak from personal experience because I used to have severe pain going to the bathroom to the point where I would start crying. (This coming from someone who can highly tolerate pain, cold, etc.) But after I cut that from my diet let me tell you it was a mirical. I mean, MUCH better and I don't feel foggy and or anxious all the time. :D
Now though I still unfortunately need to spin because of hyposensitivity. It's something I'm hoping to quit. Does anyone have any advice on how to quit spinning in circles? It's something about my censory system that's apparently really screwed up because I'm 17 and still feel the need to spin in circles. Do I just have to quit by sheer will power or is there some magic pill I can take lol something? I laugh randomly and uncontrolably too which is a real pain in the ass at school. SO embarrasing
I have autism. When I was younger it used to be like, REALLY bad but now I've become pretty much a more social person. I mean, I don't invite my friends over after school, but still it's better than nothing right? I used to never talk to anyone except for a few neighbors (very good friends) close family and just basically whenever I absolutely had to speak. Other than that I kept my mouth shut.
I'm confused. So she was going to kill her self and her autistic daughter, but she changed her mind since she had another child? Who doesn't show this type of commercial? What is the truth behind autism?
Maybe it's me being a bit literal-minded this morning, but how is it possible to "drive off the George Washington Bridge"? Aren't there sidewalks and guardrails in the way?

Result is not as Jennerians prophesied, extermination of human race by small pox; on contrary more people now killed by vaxs than small pox" "Every doctor will allow a colleague to decimate a whole country side sooner than violate the bond of professional etiquette by giving them away" George Bernard Shaw
That mom is so mean...and the little girl was behind her when she said that....the mom may not think it but im sure the little autistic girl understood what the mom was saying...imagine how much it hurt her:(
I used to be that way. I did not share my emotions, show them but it did impact me later in the form of a meltdown. These parents assume we can't feel or hear what they say. We get accused of lack of empathy all the time yet I don't see much empathy for us.
The people from autism reality are HFA . you have absolutely NO right to compare your self to LFA. and yes most of the day the parents suffer . even when you try to have nice time with your kid and read story for example he will put is claws in your face when you stop.no exchange of love. it's like living with a monster but unfortunately this monster is your son who needs you to love and protect.so you can't just run away from him.all what this mother did is only venting. plz show some sympathy
I am on your side. people who think autism is a gift, or good in some way, are deluded. I expect they should adopt a child with autism. Parents of autistic children, are sometimes at the end of they're tether. raising children is difficult at the best of times. what about one who is still throwing tantrums at the age of 8, and attacks you. Austistic children are angry and alone. that's why they lash out.
You have no right to declare you know ALL of our life stories either. You also have no right to treat your autistic child like dirt. Have you thought maybe your autistic child really knows how you feel about him and he's frustrated with you too? No I'm not showing sympathy towards the mother because there is way too much sympathy going around for the parents and NO empathy for the child. Just watch these talk shows. Spot out one where the child is stood up for.
Since I saw the entire documentary, I empathize with this mom, completely. Been in her shoes. We love our children, but with all the obstacles in their lives, may sometimes wish, if only for a moment, that they were in a better place. Don't judge people, unless you've walked her path...or mine
Umm... Did any of you who are making judgements and negative comments about the lady in the video actually see the whole video instead of just this clip? She said she was contemplating driving off the bridge with her daughter because there were no appropriate schools for her.They were saying that children with lower functioning autism are not allowed in regular classes because the make too many disturbances.She felt desperate and hopeless because the only schools are ineffective and crowded.
This is several months late, but I feel the need to respond. Is that a bad situation the mother was in? Yes, it is. It's unfair the child had to be subjected to discrimination like that. However, do you honestly think that justifies the murder of a kid? No, it doesn't. She's the adult. She's the responsible one. Yes it's hard, but you cannot justify murder like that with such a baseless excuse. And yes, it's murder. You have to work through it, not kill others for your problems.

The Autism Speaks video made me mad, cuz all they really show is the meltdowns and all the negative stuff and things like that. I have autism, and for me it's not the end of the world. For me it's a different way if thinking of the world and those around you. Many people with autism made a difference in this awful world, and I wouldn't be surprised if one of those kids in the video eventually became well-known around the world for their greatness. So u mite wanna rethink this video.
@LetsCureAutism First, I'm really glad that you can really look at the bright side of things. Yes, many people with Autism have made a difference. Sadly, not everybody is on the high functioning end of the spectrum as I'm assuming you are. LFA is a whole different world, and it can really take a toll on the family of the child with Autism.
@LetsCureAutism Another liar. You have autism? More like you might have some slight ASD if that. Just because you might have some autism spectrum does not mean you have autism. People like you make me sick. You claim you have autism and in doing so you give people that have children with autism false hope and you give people who don't know what real autism is false expectations. Because of people like you parents and children suffer. I hope you feel the pain & suffering you cause.
She is sick. In earshot of her daughter??? Typical of people with autism??? All people with autism including myself,are not typical.We have differences.We are literally like snow.We are all different in our own ways.A selfish dunkaf (German for dumbass)like her should be put in a mental ward.You know we go from retarded in ways to overall savants. (me tho i hate to brag x.x )We go from destructive and impulsive to silent and can't make eye-contact.We have a ton of stress you do too.Deal with it.
@ivanova88 dude, she was intentionally going to kill her innocent autistic daughter for something she can't help.She had not even a tiny glimpse of remorse.Im autistic.With AS, life is harder than the people impacted.It truly is a living hell to have autism.And im high functioning.I dont know how bad her daughter is, but its still gotta be hell.If she was truly going to kill her, It wouldnt be a mistake.It would have been just plain DISGUSTING.Nobody should go through that.
@Latiasmasterball1234 Totally agree with you she is mess up to want to kill her child just because she autistic. that is wrong. and the thing that makes this even more mess up is that she got away with saying this publically....that is lame for our society.
@ivanova88 So lame. Dude if u see a book on autism called "Breaking the habit: Autism from someone who has experienced it." That's me. I'm writing a book on it.
I have autism and NOTHING disgusts me more than people like my parents, people who think that we are all typical to each other, can be judged, and don't accept us.Hear this and only this one time.IF YOU DONT ACCEPT US, THE WHOLE AUTISTIC COMMUNITY CANNOT AND WILL NOT AACCEPT YOU.
This video breaks my heart, I think my Son has Autism. I was not great at school as it bored me & My man is gifted & was great at school. We have 4 children. Im pregnant with our 4th. As a child I was creative, good at art, wrote stories, drew characters. I would act out my characters, I was the actor/my siblings I made actors, by making them & myself the characters I invented..I was the film director. I liked my bike, basket weaving, playing olympic games, I made friends with boys not girls.
this was so edited. while it was very wrong of her to say that within ear shot of her child, please don't be so harsh to judge her. autism is a VERY hard diagnosis to accept and she had a fleating moment of feeling powerless.
This is bull. She says she would rather do that than put her autistic daughter in one of those overcrowded schools. Watch the real thing and you'll know what I'm talking about.
What's the point of this video clip? I've seen the entire documentary. This clip is taken out of context from the entire message. Oh, and I also live with a child that has low functioning autism everyday. I'v been there and had thoughts that I'm not proud of, though I didn't ever say them out loud in front of my son. So what? Unless you have autism, work with these kids or are a parent of one of them... you probably don't have a clue.
I have autism and I work with autistic people. I saw the whole movie. I especially hated the part where all the parents complained about their lives and the part where the woman tried to put her daughter on a swing and when she started crying because shew was trying to say she didn't want to be on the swing, her mother talked about how awful it was that her child wouldn't just do what she wanted. Yes, autism is very hard to deal with at times, it is not an excuse to be a self absorbed bad parent
@darkkittydin thank you very much for that point ... i am the parent of a severely autistic son who also has horrible mood disorders and i cant even think how hard i have it because as horrible as it is to deal with him SCREAMING FOR HOOOUUURRRS ON END im not that selfish because it is even worse on him my heart breaks for him and all the kids and adults that autism affects us parents need to stop being self absorbed... on the other hand i still sympathize with you i TRULY KNOW how bad it is
Respond to this video... By the way, I am the parent of a profoundly autistic 13 year old, and it was very comforting to know that I am not alone in my feelings of helplessness. You pass judgement on parents like me, yet you'd be the first to institutionalize your child if met with one tenth the adversity we face in the first hour of our day.
@purplewowies People WITH autism WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO. YOU DO NOT HAVE AUTISM. You might have ASD THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING. STOP. STOP. STOP trying to claim you have something YOU DO NOT. There are people in the real world fighting every day for truly autistic individuals and that fight starts with this MISCONCEPTION that you are portraying. You're claiming to have a mental disability just to get attention. GET HELP
@darkkittydin Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit. You have autism? More like you might have some slight ASD if that. Just because you might have some autism spectrum does not mean you have autism. People like you make me sick. You claim you have autism and in doing so you give people that have children with autism false hope and you give people who don't know what real autism is false expectations. Because of people like you parents and children suffer. I hope you feel the pain & suffering you cause.
@KyrielleBlue I've seen the enitre movie too, and guess what? It's not taken out of context! This is exactly what that bitch said! Not a single word of it was either altered, or taken out of context.
@KyrielleBlue I agree that it is taken out of context. I have high functioning autism and my life is an every day struggle. I think my Mum should be given a medal for putting up with me so long. I am now been put in a care home because I can't be independant but my Mum can't cope anymore because she has mental health problems herself. I think having a kid with HFA is hard enough (judging by what my mum said about me) so it must be difficult to have a kid with LFA.
@KyrielleBlue It appears that children who develop autism and autism spectrum disorders are born with abnormal gut flora, and cannot rid their bodies of the heavy metals present in the vaccine. One study showed that vaccinated children with autism were found not to have evidence of heavy metals in their hair, while those who did not develop autism had heavy metals in their hair...showing that the second group were able to excrete the metals from their bodies. The GAPS diet has reversed autism.
@KyrielleBlue there is no context that mitigates the fact that this woman said she thought about killing her daughter but didn't because she has another "normal" child.
Um what you don't see is the entire movie clip this has been an edited portion to make this woman look bad. If you watch the whole thing she states how much she loves her daughter and how she couldn't imagine sending her to a school where she wouldn't get anywhere near the help that she needed. That was what her comment was in reference to. Anyone who doesn't understand the sheer desperation a parent can feel never had to deal with a child with a disability.
hi i just wanted to say as a caregiver who works with our fellow humans who suffer from mental illness don't hate on the mother too much. parents quite often tell me things like this cause they have a kid who is aggressive or sib and they have no more energy left. If your not used to being around people with autism and their parents try to have some compassion for them its not moms fault.
To hell with all you self-righteous cunts. She's there DAY IN AND DAY OUT caring for her daughter in the best way she knows how. And you're here on youtube to judge... HAH!
You've never felt out of control? Helpless? Lost?
That is the feeling this woman describes- not anger. Not hate. To represent it otherwise is a supreme injustice.
You fools! Go see the whole video (search for "Autism Every Day") instead of judging her for two seconds of what she said. She's being honest and using the comparison of driving off a bridge to make a point. She's not suicidal.
She was being honest, but it wasn't right to say that in front of her daughter. I appreciate her honesty, but not the irreverent manor of which she said it. I have aspergers and it's a struggle everyday. My mom didn't like me and I knew it. It's not fair to have that girl hear that kind of stuff. BTW I have seen the entire interview, not just this clip.
YOU ARE A FUCKING ASSHOLE WHO CUT THE FUCK OUT OF A VIDEO WHERE SHE SAID EXACTLY AFTER THAT, "THAT WOULD BE PREFERABLE THAN PUTTING HER IN THE SAME SCHOOL." SO YOU CAN GO TO FUCKING HELL. KBYE.
In all fairness the woman was being forthright and honest. I appreciate her candor.
Yes many parents with autistic children do a wonderful job, providing support and a loving home for their kids; never wondering if there could have been a better life for their children and indeed them.
Any parent should feel that their children are their lives, this is not always the case. But with this woman it clearly is. She knows that her children are her life & because of it she had a hard realization.
Autism is mercury-poisoning [hydrargyrism n. poisoning with mercury; mercurialism], as prescribed by our pharmaceutical cartels as eugenics is population decimation as granted in granite on the Georgia Guide Stones.
@ThingsTerrestrial that is an unfounded accusation, for which you have no proof, ergo unfounded accusation... unless you have unequivocal proof for me? No? thought not...
@ThingsTerrestrial There are many examples of Autism before the generation born in the 1970's, I will only explain this once so please be ready... As we continue to advance our knowledge and understanding of these types of disorders we are able to, as a rule, narrow the definition, thereby creating previously unknown branches from a common source. Words like; Crazies, Lunatics, Half Wits, and Retards have become derogatory in favor of our knowledge and our furthering of health science.
@emptemp : That's lackey (or boot-lick) talk. Sub-clinical & full-blown chronic metabolic diseases (a.k.a. vitamin deficiency diseases) are on the rise: cancer, scurvy, pellagra, schizophrenia, pernicious anemia, arthritis, atherosclerosis, and so on. Crab cancer is now the Western World's #1 killer afflicting 35% of the populace. In the 19th century it afflicted 3%; in the early 1970's: 25%.
@ThingsTerrestrial So for you to tell me that simply because medical records, with our current definition of autism, do not go back far enough for you to trust them is ridiculousness. If it was previously undiscovered then it stands to reason it was unknown... but as for you claim that autism wasn't around in the 1970, 60, 50, 40....(and so on)... is straight up bullshit.
Defenders of her statement, which she gave knowing she was on camera and in front of her daughter, either miss or deny the point: this language helps Autism Speaks' backers funnel money to genetics executives with questionable bioethics and thus siphon off what could be used to research quality-of-life initiatives. Parents who scapegoat the verbal for their nonverbal children's problems should turn their rage on the "charity" that offers little to help living human beings except a faster label.
@YukiNekoPrincess I myself have autism, and I am proud to say that Autism Speaks does not speak for me! I know people on the spectrum who are very low functioning, but yet are very loving, patient, and enjoy their life! Autism Speaks does not speak for them.....I do! I am not taking any credibility from the mothers who take care of their autistic children 24/7 day in and day out.......GOD BLESS THEM!

Sometimes she's so frustrating I want to slap her in the face. But I love her and that's why I'm still here. Love isn't always easy. Sometimes it's hard and requires sacrifice.

@sarahbelle988 I am no saint. I do have a sibling, and we did have fights, but I never wished her any harm. That being said, you shouldn't treat an autistic child like a "normal" human being, treat her like an autist.
If I go cut woods in the forrest with a woman, I don't treat her like a man either. If I did, she would complain a lot about not being able to lift stuff. Much like an autist complains, when you expect them to do something that isn't natural for them.

@YouDabian you see this is where you have to be cautious when you analyze someone else's situation. What you say used to make perfect sense to me. But as my sister grew up (She's almost 22 and 2 years younger than me), I realized she was often hurt that she was being treated differently than her big sister. It hurts her that her parents don't let her wear make up, or go to the store by herself, in other words BE NORMAL. They can tell and they want to be treated like everyone else.
sarahbelle988 3 days ago
@YouDabian and never admitting our true feelings, only keeps them inside of us. I mentioned my feelings about my sister because I wanted to show that every family with autistic children thinks this. Actually EVERY family thinks it. If you have a sibling, then you know. Why should my feelings be any different with my autistic sibling be different especially if I want to treat her like a normal human being? Anyway, my point is that we need to be more transparent because it allows healing.

Oh btw some help for you guys: cut dairy and gluten from your diet. Some people may still not know but that stuff just makes the symtoms a lot worse. Also I can speak from personal experience because I used to have severe pain going to the bathroom to the point where I would start crying. (This coming from someone who can highly tolerate pain, cold, etc.) But after I cut that from my diet let me tell you it was a mirical. I mean, MUCH better and I don't feel foggy and or anxious all the time. :D

Now though I still unfortunately need to spin because of hyposensitivity. It's something I'm hoping to quit. Does anyone have any advice on how to quit spinning in circles? It's something about my censory system that's apparently really screwed up because I'm 17 and still feel the need to spin in circles. Do I just have to quit by sheer will power or is there some magic pill I can take lol something? I laugh randomly and uncontrolably too which is a real pain in the ass at school. SO embarrasing

I have autism. When I was younger it used to be like, REALLY bad but now I've become pretty much a more social person. I mean, I don't invite my friends over after school, but still it's better than nothing right? I used to never talk to anyone except for a few neighbors (very good friends) close family and just basically whenever I absolutely had to speak. Other than that I kept my mouth shut.

I used to be that way. I did not share my emotions, show them but it did impact me later in the form of a meltdown. These parents assume we can't feel or hear what they say. We get accused of lack of empathy all the time yet I don't see much empathy for us.

The people from autism reality are HFA . you have absolutely NO right to compare your self to LFA. and yes most of the day the parents suffer . even when you try to have nice time with your kid and read story for example he will put is claws in your face when you stop.no exchange of love. it's like living with a monster but unfortunately this monster is your son who needs you to love and protect.so you can't just run away from him.all what this mother did is only venting. plz show some sympathy

I am on your side. people who think autism is a gift, or good in some way, are deluded. I expect they should adopt a child with autism. Parents of autistic children, are sometimes at the end of they're tether. raising children is difficult at the best of times. what about one who is still throwing tantrums at the age of 8, and attacks you. Austistic children are angry and alone. that's why they lash out.

You have no right to declare you know ALL of our life stories either. You also have no right to treat your autistic child like dirt. Have you thought maybe your autistic child really knows how you feel about him and he's frustrated with you too? No I'm not showing sympathy towards the mother because there is way too much sympathy going around for the parents and NO empathy for the child. Just watch these talk shows. Spot out one where the child is stood up for.

She said she was contemplating driving off the bridge with her daughter because there were no appropriate schools for her.They were saying that children with lower functioning autism are not allowed in regular classes because the make too many disturbances.She felt desperate and hopeless because the only schools are ineffective and crowded.

This is several months late, but I feel the need to respond. Is that a bad situation the mother was in? Yes, it is. It's unfair the child had to be subjected to discrimination like that. However, do you honestly think that justifies the murder of a kid? No, it doesn't. She's the adult. She's the responsible one. Yes it's hard, but you cannot justify murder like that with such a baseless excuse. And yes, it's murder. You have to work through it, not kill others for your problems.

I have autism and I work with autistic people. I saw the whole movie.

Yes, autism is very hard to deal with at times, it is not an excuse to be a self absorbed bad parent

@KyrielleBlue I agree that it is taken out of context. I have high functioning autism and my life is an every day struggle. I think my Mum should be given a medal for putting up with me so long. I am now been put in a care home because I can't be independant but my Mum can't cope anymore because she has mental health problems herself. I think having a kid with HFA is hard enough (judging by what my mum said about me) so it must be difficult to have a kid with LFA.

@KyrielleBlue It appears that children who develop autism and autism spectrum disorders are born with abnormal gut flora, and cannot rid their bodies of the heavy metals present in the vaccine. One study showed that vaccinated children with autism were found not to have evidence of heavy metals in their hair, while those who did not develop autism had heavy metals in their hair...showing that the second group were able to excrete the metals from their bodies. The GAPS diet has reversed autism.

If you watch the whole thing she states how much she loves her daughter and how she couldn't imagine sending her to a school where she wouldn't get anywhere near the help that she needed. That was what her comment was in reference to. Anyone who doesn't understand the sheer desperation a parent can feel never had to deal with a child with a disability.

hi i just wanted to say as a caregiver who works with our fellow humans who suffer from mental illness don't hate on the mother too much. parents quite often tell me things like this cause they have a kid who is aggressive or sib and they have no more energy left.

@ThingsTerrestrial There are many examples of Autism before the generation born in the 1970's, I will only explain this once so please be ready... As we continue to advance our knowledge and understanding of these types of disorders we are able to, as a rule, narrow the definition, thereby creating previously unknown branches from a common source.
