Learned behavior. It works on mommy, but it doesn't work in the real world. Mommy enables this and doesn't want him to face any consequences...which in reality..ruined his life. He will never be able to hold a a job and will continue to break laws. Consequences are how humans learn to behave.

I have a 34 year old son with autism who has a job, and has never been arrested. Even though I work in the legal/security field, I would never do what this mother is doing. She's only hurting her son. She needs to back off and let her son deal with the consequences.

[@kathyaddison1896]

I too have a son that was born with delayed learning and I knew after the doctor's used the R word that I was all he had. So even tho they gave me no hope of him being anything but slow......I knew I had to have higher expectations for him. I told my son that I wasn't going to live forever and he needed to learn life. He's now 38 years old and has grown in areas that I didn't think was possible. But I never treated him any differently than my other 3 children. And I know that you can handicap your own children by smothering them and handling all their problems. She needs to step back and let him deal with the problems he's created.

after hearing his criminal record i would say that he doesn't have an ''Autism'' problem but a ''too much coddling'' problem. he's acting like he's slow or scared because his mom told him to act that way so he'd get off, not learn from his choices and grow from it but not have to answer for it.

As a mom of an autistic teen who also has ADHD.... you're ENTIRELY CORRECT! It's a reason, not an excuse and our job is to teach our children to work through their disabilities to be able to function in society. It's 1000 times harder than raising a neurotypical child but it's better to fight the fight while they are younger so they grow up to be more responsible and self-sufficient.

[@brinacodding2573]

​@katherineduke3232 the hardest part for me, as an Autistic Adult, is that i wasn't diagnosed until i was 17. Suddenly my entire past made sense, but I never got a chance to learn how to live functionally. My school years were spent with panic attacks and skipping school because it was such a horrible place to be. Im 25 now and still struggling to find a job that doesn't send me back on the personal work i have done.

[@katherineduke3232]

@@brinacodding2573 and I'm so sorry you never got the help and guidance you deserved in order to get through this already difficult life. Unfortunately there are so many like you who struggled and suffered through childhood and even through adulthood before being diagnosed simply because not enough information was available. I can't stand people who try to claim that the drastic uptick in autism/adhd diagnosis have gone up recently because we are all snowflakes who whatever nonsense. When in reality, so many such as yourself, have simply gone undiagnosed until more info has been available especially over the last decade. My son is 14 and when he was diagnosed, there wasn't really a lot of help available to teach us parents how to raise autistic children. Now, because there are so many more resources than before so I could take parenting classes and training geared towards different neurodiverse children, new medications to try, new therapies available and I am so grateful! When he was 3, I had an idiot specialist at the school tell me that I needed to just accept that my son would never talk, never progress, and never would even potty train. But this moron also tried to tell me that through his program, he has cured autism a couple times lmao now, my son takes grade level classes with accommodations, has learned what's appropriate during social situations, his verbal expression and verbal IQ has improved and his nonverbal IQ is grade level average. He has learned that when he is sensory overloaded, he just has to come and say "I need to take a break" and I let him walk over to wherever he wants and he will sit down amd kind of zone out. He likely will never be entirely independent but he can have a job (with help from the ARC) live in an assisted community, learn to use the bus system, learn to manage his money and medications, learn to be mostly self sufficient. Before all the help that's now available, he wouldn't be where he is now and he still has plenty of room to grow. But it only works if his support system such as myself don't hold him back because I say "he can't so the world must tip toe around him." The mother in this court case is doing her son a giant disservice and he learned how to work it. I was like that too until my son was in the 4th/5th grade and his teacher realized he was playing us so he didn't have to do hard work lol

[@stacieroddy8564]

Slightly off topic... I used to work at a University and something similar would happen with autistic students and their parents all the time. I essentially had to tell them that their kid would be here for 10+ years because they wouldn't let them take the courses they need towards their degree requirements (or any degree for that matter) "Trust me, my kid wouldn't do well in x class so I'm registering him for y class instead. He agrees with me he just can't articulate well enough to speak for for himself." ...Well... he needs x and if you register him for y he'll be taking it for pure enjoyment and the credit will be meaningless.... 🤦‍♂ It's astounding to me how some of these parents fail to see they're doing more harm than good

He (and his mother) seem to just want the answers they want, and if they get any other answers, it's the lawyer's fault. Sometimes, some jail/prison time is inevitable, and your attorneys job switches to trying to get the best for you while you are there (advocating less time, treatments, etc). I'd say on your third time, probation isn't appropriate. That isn't what defendant or his mother wants to hear, but it has nothing to do with his lawyer or what he is or is not doing.
