Repetitive behaviors at Target

This video was taken at Mikey's favorite store when he was 7. He was doing this for about 15 mins before I started filming him.

The vaccines that a child receives at a young age do not cause that child to have autism. Autism is genetics. I believe it is the right gene combination between mother and father. Some families have multiple children with autism and they are loved very much. Autism was around in in the earlier 1930's. It did exist. It just wasn't diagnosed properly. Back then the children were considered Mentally Retarded now known as Developmental Delay.

@kaylinsvlog Although a good slap to the face won't teach the ignoramuses out there anything except that violence gets immediate results, you really are correct. No ADULT worth ANYTHING should be calling kids who have special needs "retarded" unless that actually applies. And even THEN, truly kind people would handle such a label very carefully if at all.

what did I just watch?

tHERE are children born with special needs, their are children born autistic and there are children that are just born to be mean, put on this earth to be just brats. Being a Case Manager for all of the above at one time or another I verify that this statement is as true as true gets!!

@servingthealiens 'Having a disorder only goes so far.' Ever think why the child acts in this way? Just because this is different to what most of society does, doesn't make it inappropriate or wrong. It helps the child in more ways than you'll ever understand. Trying to beat a disorder such as autism is hard work. It's lifelong, no fix for it Things such as repetitive behaviour or 'odd' behaviour are things that help us deal with the world and shouldn't be discouraged or judged

@NeXusDrummer13 My boyfriend and I both love his son. But we discipline him reasonably when he acts like this in public. Having a disorder only goes so far. It makes him MORE LIKELY to behave in inappropriate ways. It doesn't mean we, as parents, need to tolerate it or encourage it.

@servingthealiens Bad case of brat? I'm 24 and still do things like this due to being autistic. Does that make me a brat? The kid did nothing wrong. Maybe read up on autistics and learn something before you start commenting with total crap. Repetitive behaviour like that kids is far more appealing than behaviour like yours. Sad for your 'boyfriends son' to have someone like you around him after your previous charming comment.

@servingthealiens What is he even doing that is bad? How is he a brat? He left when his mom told him it was time to go. He's having fun. I hope you never have children.

@bonezillion I wouldn't give my kid to the state if it wasn't born perfect. My brother has a movement disorder and my cat is deaf and I love them both. My boyfriend's son as ODD. But both my brother and BF's son have STRUCTURE. Autism or no autism, some behaviors just shouldn't be allowed. This kid has a bad case of BRAT and the parents blame autism. Completely separate issue.
