When I was 12, I bought myself a goth-dress, ankle-length and very pretty (lace, ribbon, tule, etc.) I wore it to school and (obviously) was bullied the entire day. People yanking at the ribbons, stepping on the dress on purpose, calling me an ugly witch or trying to throw paint on it, during art-class. The bullying was nothing new to me, but I had hoped that my dress had given me a bit more confidence. I then walked to the trainstation in my dress, carrying my heavy backpack and considering no longer wearing it to school. Even the teacher had said it was inappropriately 'gown-y" and some said I looked scary and strange and that they weren't going to help me out if I got bullied, knowing I was 'bringing it upon myself now.' Again, no chance there, they never helped. Either way, I encountered a little girl and her mom/dad/grandma, I don't remember. But she was skipping and stopped and said; 'Look! A princess!' I smiled back and she continued skipping and I continued wearing the dress. Little fun detail, at the time I was 12 and had bought a Medium, to fit my length. That's why I can still wear it now, at 28. I cosplay Bellatrix with it, haha, the Harry Potter witch. I don't mind being called a witch in it now :D

+Gary If the meltdown is about food and they refused to get her food 'just because' then it's stupid. They probably assumed they could get her food there. And you can't just take food on a plane, btw.

@Clutch Toxic Because instead of paying for the dispatchers-office to have proper phones and proper cubicles to cancel out the noise of the collegues...mr. Cheeto wants to build a waaaaaallllll

@lunawolfheart336 Just for 'fun' look up shock collar wounds.

Maybe they should stop putting so much detail and colour in the wall if they want the kids to stop being overwhelmed. Tss.. This is like trying to punch a headache away. Idiots.

@Huggy Bear As if it wouldn't have an effect on the way you behave or teach, when you have a gun. There's a reason intimidating cops in movies lay them on the table. Having a weapon with you, is intimidating. You don't need that kindof vibe in a classroom.

There's a few things to keep in mind here. 1.They're not necessarily disciplining them for bad behaviour, like shouting or screaming. They are disciplining for tics/stimming. Stimming is waving with your hands, tapping your feet, etc. It's a signal that someone is overstimulated. "Normalo's" do that too, just look at a woman waiting for a breast-scan at the hospital. She sure will be pacing or tapping her feet. But autistic people cannot controll that behaviour, it's like blinking when the air is dry. What those 'supervisors' are trying to do, is trying to 'bully' the behaviours away. The only way that can happen is if you basically let the whole brainsystem shut down, until nothing comes out anymore. Like..smashing an unstable and beautifully made vase, until it is one, flat shard of porcelain that is laying still on the windowsill. 2. "Disciplining' a child with autism depends on the child and the behaviour and the severity of it. If a child keeps hitting themselves in the face (overstimulation-stimming) then take the child out of that situation, calmly, and give them a soft helmet and/or soft gloves, so they will not hurt themselves. If the kid is raging and screaming, calm them down by removing them from the room or the situation and let them lay down, calmly, without touching them. It can help, sometimes, to put a child outside on the lawn or grass. Give them a pillow to hold onto. Meltdowns are worsened by loud words, pain or shock. Some people say; 'Oh just put a bucket of cold water on them" which can end up in very severe situations. In which, the most positive outcome, is a fainted child/adult and in the least positive, death. 3. Discipline and understanding discipline depends on the person themselves, also the age, the development, any additional disorders, etc. Disciplining a child for pulling someone's hair, can be done calmly and clearly. "Hey there! Do not pull her hair! That is not nice!" There is nothing wrong with communicating that to an autistic kid or adult, if they happen to pull someone's hair. Obviously the autism might be the reason (no bad intentions) but it does not mean it is a reason not to correct the behaviour. However, if I were to put a leafblower on your face, your eyes dry out and you blink, and I slap you in the face and yell; 'Stop that blinking!' and you scream out in pain and I hit you again... and you try to walk off and I slap you again and restrain you, with the leafblower still there, well, I think you get the point. You're not the problem in that case.

@igustisatya3802 They are not being helped with shocks, if that is what you are suggesting.

I am autistic and we have a nonverbal in the group. It's so damn easy to talk to them if you just take a few minutes per day. Honestly, I am not friends with him or anything... I don't necessarily "know" him, nor do I know about his house and parents. And yet, if he feels scared, you can see that. Nervousness, you can see that. Doubt, avoiding food, avoiding drink, wanting another drink, wanting different food, feeling sad, feeling sick, you can see all of that, easily. And to think, he also has spasms. DESPITE THAT I can see it from miles away. It is só damn easy.

I can imagine her (be it muffled, but nevertheless) loud voice echo-ed through the room from the phone as well. I just wish US-responders had cubicles to block the noise of the other collegues out, so they didn't have to SHOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+Candyqueen There was something about them, not wanting to order food for her. She got upset (because it was probably dinnertime and autists are focussed on schedules), said 'eejaa' and possibly screamed. Or scratched (herself or her parents, not others) As you said, babies don't get kicked off either. It's ridiculous to bother the entire plane with an emergency landing (those things are for birthing moms or heartattacks) and drop off an autistic girl. Do you know what happens if you get an autistic person near an authority that gets'angry' with them. Can you imagine how frightful that is for them? Or how messed up the schedule is in her mind, the trip she's mentally been preparing for, has now been changed. The damage done to her stability is bigger than the annoyance of the people around her was, for sure. Just put on some music and ignore her, as long as she doesn't throw with items or fights passengers, no problem.

I wouldn't have the guts either, but the thing is, the more people do it, the more people will be in jail and when eventually éverybody is in jail, then nobody is, if you know what I mean. More people should do this, it is exactly what Putin fears.
2
Important; These kind of cops are called gypsy-cops. They resign or get fired, purge their files and get back to work again in a different state or county. Make sure that doesn't happen! Hold people responsible! Get people involved that have the authority to change that common loophole!

Youknow, I was giggling while reading the 'Are you at the school, no madam I'm chillin in the hottub'-comments. And then I stopped reading and realised it's really not funny. People in the comments are trying to laugh it off, because they know that they wouldn't be able to go to school tomorrow if they didn't somehow make this into a joke. If it was possible, I'd give all of the students (except the shooter..that's gonna be tricky) a trip to the Netherlands, so ya'll can finish your edukayshun over here in peace, with some cheese-soufflé's, lots of stroop-waffles and hagelslag-sandwiches for breakfast.

@kristiechalene9331 Shock collars can create panicked dogs, that avoid other dogs because them barking happily at them, makes them fear pain.

@DumbassRex She thinks they are not afraid of pain...people with autism. People with autism and heightened painreceptors..not afraid of pain. That's almost funny.

@PrettyFLY4aWiFi. They were punished for flapping their hands...it is being told in the video.

@igustisatya3802 The reason they hurt themselves is overstimulation. I notice I start (veeeery softly) banging my head against my mom's shoulder when I am overstimulated. What I then need is a soft hug, a blanket, some quiet time with a book and preferably a rabbit to cuddle with, those are nice and quiet. The last thing I need is loud noises, pain, touch or fear. If I was in that place, got overstimulated by the ridiculous amount of colours and random people walking around, I would perhaps rub my head against someone's shoulder. For that, I would then be shocked, while being in an overstimulated state. I would most likely just lose it and burst into tears. That would then result in more shocking, more tears. In the end, I'd pass out and they'd happily exclaim that it worked and that I am now very peaceful. I mean, if you want harsh methods for peacefullness, you might as well just strangle the ones complaining about it. Autistic people hardly ever complain about themselves. So, the problem would be solved if the supervisors were youknow..."helped" with a few shocks. Imagine the peacefullness and the silence.

@igustisatya3802 But why do they have to adjust and get punished with mild shocks? They might rock back and forth (stimming) out of nervousness but is that something to punish them for? If they want to wear their coat indoors, is that bad? I am allowed to wear my coat indoors...you are. Why do they need to be electrocuted for it? And why do you want them in insane asylums? I mean..do you realise what you are saying, these people need support, not electric shocks because they happen to tap their foot if they are nervous. The methods you are praising are used in chinese prisons. You're not teaching anyone anything, you're making them fear being themselves, because they know that wiggling on your chair will result in painful shocks. And worse...as you've seen, there's actual torture going on.

Can't you put a cooler-system in that big hat?

@orionmcgee6285 Your channel is empty, your avatar is empty, you have no subs. Paid troll. You're reported.

@Googlegivemyoriginalnameback Not everyone is a troll, no, but there are some very clear troll-accounts on here and you'd be naive if you said they weren't.

@cooperjones5348 17 year old kids without guns can't shoot up the school. I live in the Netherlands, we have not had a schoolshooting in ever.
1
@cooperjones5348 It's not about less likely. It's about none. No guns in the hands of anyone means there will be no gun-crime. I repeat..we have zero schoolshootings in the Netherlands and the last stabbing was in 1980 or something, which involved óne victim and he had a bloody arm and survived. In the 80's.

@gabeross515 "I would feel more safe if my teachers were armed as long as they were empty." So it's júst the sight of the gun that makes you happy then, no bullets involved? This is sounding like a very very placebo-ish solution for all of you.

You can make a video on Youtube or contact a local tv station. It is also useful to document these things in detail. Can you not get her back from this place?
1
Because they clarified that she likely got a much harsher 'punishment' (crime committed against her) for this. It's like when an abusive parent says to the teacher; 'Ah, the child will have to give up their Nintendo for the weekend' and then goes home and beats up the kid. If you knów the parents are abusive and with a smile, they say; 'Ah, the kid misbehaved in class today?' then you knów it will not just be 'no Nintendo' it will be abuse.

Just checking...isn't there a law against seperating kids? I thought there was one.

@lubystkaolamonola529 The solution is not to let them get strapped to a board and get zapped like some sortof revenge.

Target identified. Target destroyed sir, no more threats detected.

@OspreyBravo18 I bet, you're already involved in shooting games. It's not about your fellow students, you're just triggerhappy.

@yeoldebanjo5470 You absolutely got my point there.

@yeoldebanjo5470 Casket closed indeed, good luck with the situation.

Ron Smith Says the empty channel at midnight with the suspicious trolling 'Smith'-name. Sounds like you want people to get expelled. You just got yourself reported.

Beestings are painful too.

We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

@PhoenicianPrincess88 They had a list, pusishment was for handflapping, not taking your coat of when asked, disobeying orders and moving while you were electrocuted on the board. Even dead bodies cannot lay still when being shocked, because the muscles contract.
