Kind of shocked that the people acting as professionals in this video seem to be untrained in any aspect of Autism. You do not repeat loudly at an autistic person, you wait, silently until they answer you. You do not invade an autistic person's space or put your hands on their faces - once or twice they actually pulled a child across the floor. This is ridiculous and I'm VERY disappointed that I was made to watch this as part of my CPD course in Ireland. I'm fully trained in the TEACCH approach to Autism Spectrum Disorder teaching and this video is terrible.

These therapists appear to simply be part of the diagnosing process It doesn't look like they are even demonstrating treatment. The successful retrieval from an autistic who is trapped in the circle is far more detailed than that. A successful therapist won't try to "rip the child" out of the circle, but rather wil attempt to work his or her way into the child's circle, perhaps by communicating in a manner that the child is capable of. If the child is capable of only silence, the therapist better get real good at communicating via expressions. The shit these therapists do would only make it worse if they kept it up through out the treatment process.

My story of Autism: I was born in the week before thanksgiving in 2001, I never remembered what was like after that, especially when I try hard to do so. Math is my greatest strength, I became good at it since third grade, and made 💯 in precalculus (a hard math subject) during my senior year. But as for my weakness, I was silent until I was 5. I felt scared to speak, as if I feared that whoever speaks bad about me, would always win. I would feel the nerves inside me that’s placing a lot of pressure into my brain and my muscles. I always feel nervous when eventful things happen (such as tests, quizzes, activity decision, etc.). As of now, I wasn’t scared of the Coronavirus pandemic, but what I’m scared of was people who would put lives in danger by threatening other people who are not in curfew that can make the virus even more worse. Math is my strength, speech is my weakness.

Interesting that when the teacher was interacting with the little boy, he kept trying to engage her to discuss fire trucks. He even tried asking her a question to engage her: all to no avail. SHE seemed to have an obsession with speaking about one selfish interest: her own long over-with school experiences. This boy seemed to be an Aspie (takes one to know one!). He has a passion for this subject. An astute teacher would've met him where he was & not ignored his efforts at socializing.

[@sniperfish1298]

I reacted the same way you did, these are not learned, professional teachers... Just look at the way the teacher at 1:35 forces the childs head to move "you will look at me when you say hello".

[@stephanieinthewild2678]

Autistics have different levels of behavior and ability to do things such as speak and communicate. Some can be very social yet not function if lunch not same dish or at same time. Or can't speak but can do sign language or understand hand signals. Some don't like to be touched and others are very touchy feely. It depends on the person.

Stimming is also a necessary coping mechanism and unless it is self injurious or destructive or harming someone else it is cruel for programs like ABA to stop it.

GOSH people are so ignorant. I am quite surprised to see people arguing against the existence of autism. Autism is clearly real and clearly affects a person significantly, making many areas of life most find easy and enjoyable near impossible. Like anybody that is different, a large part of acceptance is understanding them and knowing how they think and how to interact with them. if you're a mature insightful person, you should take away from this some information; how to spot it if you have children of your own, and how to better understand somebody you may come across that has autism. It is embarrassing, ignorant and dismissive for people to say autism is just a label given to people that are different. Clearly it's very real... How stupid do you have to honestly be to think otherwise? Sure in a perfect world, we could accept everyone as they are, but to operate and function in our world today, some people certainly need much more help, guidance and UNDERSTANDING than others. Clearly people don't have much sympathy for people that suffer and their families.

I wish she wouldn't force him to use eye-contact. They're clearly making an effort, but it's so disheartening to see the lack of empathy in the way these care-takers are treating their autistic charges and the way they characterize the disorder.

[@shannondeyong4289]

I fully agree!! :( The language & the way some of these behaviors are described really bothers me. Playing with a toy kitchen "appropriately"? Not responding because someone's speaking loudly & in your face? And yes - don't even get me started on the forced eye contact, or doing/saying things just the way the "teachers" want them to. (And trying to eliminate all stunning behavior, not just that which involves self-harm or harm to others.) I'm not denying there are challenges associated with autism (particularly if other comorbid physical or mental conditions are present), but autistics are no less intelligent or aware than NTs. (In fact, sometimes a shutdown or hyperfocus occurs due to overstimulation, not from a refusal to cooperate.) :/ And there's nothing in these behavioral interventions that looks at the ways in which autistics can and do contribute to the world - because of their autism, not in spite of it. :( Okay, soapbox done.

Many autistic people have sensory processing disorder (also known as Sensory Integration Disorder), which means that the brain underreacts or overreacts to certain stimuli. Here are some examples. Sight-Becoming overwhelmed by bright colors or moving objects, not noticing things like road signs, attraction to the sight of hustle and bustle Hearing-Covering ears or hiding from loud noises such as vacuum cleaners and crowded places, not noticing when people are talking to you, missing things that people say Smell-Feeling disturbed or nauseated by smells that don't bother others, not noticing important smells like gasoline, loving strong scents and buying the strongest-smelling soaps and food available Taste-Preferring to eat only bland or "kid food," eating extremely spicy and flavorful food while disliking anything bland, or disliking trying new foods Touch-Being bothered by certain fabrics or clothes tags, not noticing when people touch you lightly or you are injured, or constantly running your hands along everything Vestibular-Getting dizzy on cars or swingsets, or constantly running around and climbing things Proprioceptive-Constantly feeling uncomfortable movements of your bones and organs, bumping into things, or not noticing when you are hungry or tired

[@satureja7104]

Autism is not a disease. It is groups of traits that tend to appear together. People don't get them, people are born with them, and they will never go away. And that's pretty nice. We don't always learn things in the same order as most people. Encourage autistic children to do what they enjoy and are good at. We might have very different ideas about what would make a person uncomfortable, and because of that we seem to switch between emotionlessness and overreacting, even though we don't. Encourage non-harmful stimming, like flapping, jumping, spinning, singing. Discouraging it leads to more harmful stimming, like scratching, head banging, hitting. If we can't relieve our stress and express ourselves, we get tired and miserable, we can develop illnesses, we can lose our appetite for days. When autistic children seem to be doing nothing but repeating some little thing, they are not asleep or unconcious. Maybe they're thinking about the things that fascinate them. Maybe they're observing the behaviour of other children. Maybe they're observing the behaviour of the teachers. Maybe they're re-analyzing some event that happened years ago and learning something new about others and themselves. I'm going to keep doing this, no matter how old I get. Whatever we're doing with our minds, we're usually enjoying it. For us, looking people in the eye is not connecting. It is hostility. Don't force us. Don't touch us without permission, it's disgusting, invasive, and for some of us it is basically sexual assault. If you want to know the truth about autism, find blogs written by aspies themselves. Search sites like Tumblr and Wordpress. Don't Google anything autism related without advice from an aspie. If your child has autism, find aspies on the internet. Only we can truly speak for ourselves. TLDR - We know more about ourselves than the professionals. Read our blogs

[@jenlovesthisstuff]

Absolutely agree in regards to the forced eye contact and touching. Accept our differences and stop trying to "cure" us and make us fit in by forcing us to be social or talk about irrelevant and mundane crap like "how was school?" If the kid wants to talk about firetrucks, ask him about them. To autists, small talk is basically the same script that people just repeat mindlessly to each other over and over again. We don't care and don't see any point or advantage to being fake and disingenuous in our conversations. If that makes us appear socially inept and unpopular, so what.

In my personal experience I've heard of people who are offended when dismissed by children with disabilities.
