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

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

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

  5. 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.

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

  7.  @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.

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

  9.  @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.

  10.  @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.

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