Mother talks about killing her autistic daughter and herself

Exposing Autism Speaks using just one clip from their own movie...

Don't believe the lies. They created this documentary to get people to donate on false pretenses... Its time we let the public know about it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I however want to point out that it's not okay that she said these things with her daughter in the room.

[sarahbelle988]

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.

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.
