  1. I love that hairdresser but really tragic problem is it's always about how everybody should behave with Autistic Child. Result, many Autistic children are not helped to learn how to behave appropriately in situations, which is going to be devastating when they are adults possibly with their own children. http://m.raisingchildren.net.au/articles/autism_discipline_strategies.html

  2. Ms. @bergfish7328  Driving with a child who take their seatbelt off, try and get out car, child's lock on, so they try getting out the window on 70mph freeway? Spraying wild animals is only a step away from spraying people in the face when they can't get the moped they want. It's a nightmare and it needs to be tackled right from the start because autistic children can't learn by being persuaded with words. Autistic people can't learn by the results of their own action. But they can learn " off by heart" by routine. We always have a seat belt on and there is no alternative no running in the motorway with spray in hand and causing fatal accidents. Being holier than everybody else and expecting everybody else in cars on motorway to understand it's an autistic child and we will stop and wait here for a few hours is not an option. That poor hairdresser? What about when it is a poor puppy bought for the autistic child and it gets attacked by the parents for attempting to defend itself from getting things put in its eyes, worse than spraying spiders? Then when the large adult male has committed a horrific offence the court is bombarded with mitigating circumstances and we all read about the animal cruelty that preceded cruelty to another human or even serial killers. Birmingham prison is full of kids who started off like this one violent kids just because they're kid Now doesn't mean we should all go round saying how holy we are attacking anybody who points out Autistic children need help in learning how to behave appropriately right from the start

  3.  @ICD25  Excuse me? You jumping to a lot of false conclusions in your comment. I have a daughter with deleted chromosome syndrome. I never once mentioned "obeying". For another example to my many previous examples: My daughter was able to learn how to respond appropriately by showing her video of young woman behaving appropriately in the same situation that she had to deal with. After being so disruptive at school that the police deemed it a public order offence that is. I disagree with taking a religious approach
