What kind of Friggin lunatic let someone with retardation take care of thier child? My son has Autism, I don't allow it to be an excuse for bad behavior. A change in the tone of my voice stops him from throwing and hitting. I don't need a belt

[TastyQQQs]

I can remember just BALLIN'!

[erlysat]

@EdwR1 hah yeah because spanking them and making them cry harder will help. It will also help form them into a wonderful human being... not hostile or anything. You're a smart cookie aren't ya?

@molewizard Absolutely. You should NEVER hit a child (or anyone) for autistic behaviors they have little or no control over. If an autistic child is having a meltdown it's probably due to over-stimulation. Thankfully my meltdowns haven't involved yelling and throwing stuff. It amazes me how many peoples answer to autism is a beating. If someones brain can't understand something, beating their ass wont change that.

There are ways of dealing with an autistic child that don't involve pain.

I loved this film. My son has autism, and OCD. Often times people don't understand the complexity of the situation. It's rarely behavorial. In fact; autism is a disorder of the brain; or a neurological disorder-Not just behavorial. It's tuff. Luckily..so am I.

@EdwR1 hey, heres a tip. FUCK OFF

[EdwR1]

@TycoonQueenie01 Whatever you say, asspie. Have fun using that condition as a crutch and avoiding any responsibility for yourself. It must be great to have a handy excuse for whenever you fuck up, eh?

[TycoonQueenie01]

@EdwR1 well, to be honest, i am pretty glad that you have no kids at all. drop dead u idiot

[EdwR1]

@TycoonQueenie01 Like I said, I don't give a flying fuck what they have or what their excuse is. I will NOT tolerate a child throwing a bitch fit like some kind of spastic retard. If you blame their behavior on some bullshit condition, then you're a worthless parent.

[TycoonQueenie01]

you are a retard you deserve not to live on this planet. these children go through hell. they cant help it. they don't need a fucking spanking or a cure, or a demand to die, you do.

Autism the Musical is a favorite movie of mine. I have run theater classes for children on the spectrum, and it was one of the most rewarding things I have done.

[EdwR1]

Well I sure as shit not am going to let them trash shit around, and act like a giant fucking brat like some of those worthless excuses of a parent out there.
