Trying To Cope With A Severely Autistic Child

Michele Sheffield wants to keep her severely autistic 20 year-old son Harley at home but he has become too big and violent for her to handle on her own. She fears for his safety if he was to go into an institution or group home.

It really takes a special person to be able to care of a grown person with a disability this severe. This woman deserves a vacation of a lifetime especially at her age

[@killtastic2582]

I'm a sis. And I'm just saying that everyone needs to stop taking this disorder as a joke. It is serious. Imagine being in the mom's position.

[@christinakaur8766]

I have 2 children with autism, one being severe, and when she starts having certain behaviours I just redirect her or find something to do with all the energy. She responds well to it. Before I really knew what worked well for her, she would destroy things in our home too. Parking your kid in front of the tele and telling him to stop is not going to help. Seems to me he just needs an outlet for all of his feelings and incredible energy. Art, music, sports, any thing just do something.

[@betterthanchokolate]

I agree; it looks to me that this woman just likes to feel sorry for herself...

[@christinakaur8766]

Really Denise?? Wow, you are wrong and ignorant on so many levels I kinda feel sorry for you. Educate yourself about autism and the spectrum. Oh, and by the way, you can't predict if your next baby will go on to have autism. I had 2 more children (I have 6) and they do not have autism. Why should this man be institutionalized? Because you say so? I don't agree with the way his mum handles his behaviors, but what is she supposed to do, dump her kid off on someone else because she can't cope? No. She obviously loves her son and is doing the best she can. I think he would fare well with intense therapy and finding outlets for his energy and emotions. Some days for me as a parent of children with autism are hard (as in lock myself in the bathroom and cry hard), but never have I ever thought about giving my kids up because of having a shitty day with them. Like I said, educate yourself about autism and ask a few parents of children on the spectrum what it's truly like before you make ANY comments about it.

[@christinakaur8766]

Also, MANY adults with autism lead very productive lives. They go to university, have jobs, get married, have kids, own businesses, etc.

[@ThnksFrThMlk]

mad respect for the mom. she spent almost her whole life taking care of him. thats unlike some other people out there when they find out their child is mentally disabled, they abandon them. all jokes aside, she is a strong and loving parent

[@trudyr2316]

You have my deepest respect. I am a parent of a severely autistic son. He is now 43.He is in a group home. I noticed the medicine he has been put on is the same medicine that they prescribe to people with schizophrenia. It really helped him. I am still so sad that I could not help him myself. If only we could know exactly how they are thinking?

[@dayvahjdymin]

I have 2 Autistic children and it breaks my heart that so many of the comments on this video are so horrible! Its not Autistic people that are this worlds problem, it's people like all of you that for some reason think it's okay to say horrible things to people. It's really sad...

[@apowerr]

Please do not have a 3rd child. Please! It is not fair for society to have to support these burdens once you are gone.

[@dayvahjdymin]

Wow! You know nothing about me, my children or my finances. I'm gonna assume that you don't have any children & especially none with special needs because if you did your heart would ache with sadness from the insensitive comments and treatment towards your babies. Not sure if you know this, but they don't know what causes Autism, You don't know that they have it until they are around 18 months and they are human beings not burdens. Yes we have a stressful life because of it, but it has made me a more caring and patient person.

There is no medication for severe autism. This is not ADHD

[@ariana7931]

My little sister is 8 years old and she has autistic I'm scared she might become like this she can't speak at all but she doesn't hit herself but she knows how to hit other people for fun and not what kind of autistic is she is it severe?I'm 11 yeas old and she's been going through a lot and I just wanna help:( I wish the love for the family that has autistic members and not ❤️

[@tmg9048]

Everything in the room is broken except the tv and the PlayStation.

[@ThePenguinbabe]

I feel a lot of pain for this young man and his mother. On one hand, I do believe that as he does get older with his height and size, pretty soon his mom will not be able to be strong enough to stop his physical meltdowns and the obvious solution would be a group home. BUT, on the other hand, like the story she read about a man dying there because he was tazed hits close to home because there are places out there that do not have the skills to deal with severe autistics. I have autism myself and believe me, no one asks for this kind of existence. Imagine how hard it must be for him, not being able to verbally communicate to his mom what ails him. And all those saying she should have him euthanized or aborted, shame on you. He is a human being with thoughts and feelings.

[@AnagramMylarBalloons]

Shaina Penguin just give him some dogmatil...

[@bishuu3465]

Shaina Penguin You are so right. People who judge too quicky have none experience. "Kill him" they say, and they have no idea what autism really is. People are so rude and cruel.

[@danajoyner9266]

+Shaina Penguin Yes! People seem to think these people are off in their own world and forget they have feelings. Much of these behaviors is a reaction to sensory issues and while I know autism families don't want pity, my heart goes out to this mom. Everyone should have a way to communicate pain and love, some just use different ways and in some cases we are still trying to figure out which way will work...

[@ThePenguinbabe]

FeministTechUSA You shouldn't hate yourself for it or even hate yourself period. I'm proud to be autistic, but yes, some have it harder than others and it's even harder when we are in a world where not everyone is so understanding. Even though I said no one wishes for this kind of existence, I was referring to being on the lower end of the spectrum who have limited resources like this man. My point is the world needs all kinds of minds and sadly, not everyone realizes it.

[@ThePenguinbabe]

Dana Joyner Exactly! It really bothers me when people talk about their autistic family member as if they aren't in the room when they are right there. And they do have a voice, sure maybe not vocally, but they have thoughts and feelings and do all means necessary to voice them in ways their bodies only know how to do. That's why some scream, type, or other things. It's hard enough being in your 20s with your body and moods still adjusting even without autism. I'm autistic and 24 yo and my emotions and moods are that of a teenager. And like many families and individuals on the spectrum, I want no sympathy nor a pity party. All I ask is for acceptance and unconditional love.

[@meatplunger3996]

Damn. I feel really bad for the kid and his family. I could only imagine how hard it is having a child with a severe disability and how patient you'd need to be to look after them. Whenever I hear about stuff like this I realize how fortunate I am to have my life the way it is. I hope all goes well for them and anyone else in a situation like this.

[@tutswithrock8579]

It's sad but there is really no hope for this guy

[@pioneltapinessi947]

Is he really only autistic? I know people with autism and they seemed like very intelligent, independent people who just lack social skills.

[@whalesharksarecute954]

The people you know likely have high functioning autism. Autism is a scale. There are more severe cases like the man in the video, but there are also people who are almost completely normal with just a few problems with social cues.

[@whalesharksarecute954]

Yep! Like many conditions, autism can be on a scale from horrible to alright, and sometimes it's hard to tell how bad it is early on. My little sister has autism and when she was first diagnosed doctors told my mom she would never be able to speak. Now she's 17 and she speaks wonderfully, is in normal classes at school and is getting ready to graduate. I ended up learning a lot about autism when I was younger so that I could understand my sister's condition.

[@nrg-5003]

It affects many people in different ways and the severity depends, unfortunately for him he has it very badly.

[@nrg-5003]

To add a bit autism can range from someone being able to speak properly and get on with things in normal life and be nothing more than socially awkward and perhaps have a strong interest in one subject which usually benefits them. Where as people like the man in the video have it very severe.he can't speak properly or look after himself. Hope this is clear, someone may explain it a bit better than me but this is just giving you an idea on how far it can range.

[@nicomakaveli1]

Pionel tapinessi I'm autistic and people always say I'm really intelligent cause I think I am

[@---os1uk]

It makes me mad when parents act as if it's all about them having to cope with a child. Actually it's damaging to a lot of autistic people to hear that they're a burden and, why not think about the child who is actually going through this? If only people were more understanding that not everybody is the same, it doesn't mean they are broken

[@atrioxfulminare2945]

She did not say that all autistic children are a burden, but her own child was. She has every right to express her feelings and thoughts, and I doubt he'll get hurt.

There are so many kids like this guy. Yet people judge me, because I decided not to have my own kids in fear that I might have one with autism. My sister is severely autistic, but not as bad as this. Why take the risk? I'll just adopt.

[@ressymezzo]

Yeah, this isn't the place to talk about who you feel judges you. Trot back off to Twitter for that.

[@blabber9093]

Calm down. I stated my opinion & how I felt about an issue. Is that so wrong? Also, I don't FEEL that people are judging me or my family. People DO judge you. Even people within the autism community. It never ends. Do you have or live with a family member with severe autism? If you don't, then you don't understand. It's tough on everyone.

[@blabber9093]

There is no way to test for autism before the kid is born. No one knows for sure what causes autism.

[@BikersYFans]

Just don't vaccinate them and feed them processed junk, that's the reason so many kids are becoming autistic. So sad

[@blabber9093]

Bikers Y Fans I'm not sure where I stand on the vaccine debate, but I can tell you every case of autism is different. Not all families with autistic children feed them processed junk. My mother fed us healthy, organic, fresh meals every day. We were both vaccinated by the same pediatrician. My sister is autistic & I'm not. Personally, I think there is a genetic link to autism.

[@sophian9105]

You should turn off the comments. These people are foul. My neighbor is ten and he has severe autism. Love and respect.

[@Zizzister]

Thank god I'm mildly autistic

[@TPoyser]

That's nothing to be proud of.

[@Zizzister]

***** you obviously don't know what autism is. educate yourself on google

[@TPoyser]

Jeremy Zizzi I already know what autism is but thanks anyway.

[@Zizzister]

then why do you say its bad?

[@TPoyser]

Jeremy Zizzi Because people with autism are restricted from simple mundane tasks like Proper hygiene, Taking a shower everyday, Brushing your teeth, Learning how to drive, Being successful in High School and getting your diploma, Getting a Job, and Being able to live Independently without any supervision whatsoever.

Why the fuck is he not in a mental asylum

[@sophiaslove7330]

If I were that parent I would put him in an asylum as quick as a heart beat.

[@crazyzombie9720]

+TT KillAll You would actually give up your kid?

[@Quran_Alone_Dawah]

Because the left wing fucktards insist autism is not a disorder but a difference.

[@liamh1015]

there are people with mild to moderate autism who can manage by themselves just fine but then theres animals like him.

[@Quran_Alone_Dawah]

LiamH101 Autism needs to go. There would be a cure by now if it wasn't for all the proud autistics happy being autistic. Similar to how we would be more technologically advanced if it wasn't for religious supression of science.

I feel so bad for the mom like I could not deal with having to take care of someone for the rest of my life.

[@hannahmorris1835]

That's sad. Poor kid, mom, and family

[@SevenCompleted]

This sure is my favourite episode of JonTron

[@zkiller142]

I love how the camera guy slowly backed up at the beginning.

[@timothyXsims]

Sorry to say, but the family loves him, but for everyone's safety, he would be best in a place somewhere. God bless her,

[@badbananapeel]

How can you guys sit there and belittle this guy. I'm sure that none of you have anybody with disabilities in your family or you would know what it's like. It's sick and pathetic.

[@bassetts1899]

that boy is extremely unhappy there, he needs to leave that fucking house! ugh, parents are so wrapped up in themselves and don't want to "give up" on their child but he clearly would do better in a home!

[@cheezycrackers222]

***** Are you trying to tell me this child (or man really now) does not have an impaired learning ability?

[@krissygetoffmyyoutube6201]

now I understand what expecting parents mean when the say they just want a healthy baby. love your kid regardless but it must be saddening

[@loveislouderxo2345]

He's 28 now

[@sarahedwards2]

I have mild Asperger's and am fully verbal and everything, and I can never understand about the different aspects of autism. I've asked my mom "Am I autistic?" and she said no, because people with classic autism are usually diagnosed by the time they're 3, and I was diagnosed with the Asperger's when I was 12. (I'm now 26.) I was also diagnosed with ADD when I was 6, but it's gotten much better; although there are still times (usually when attending sports games) where my senses get overloaded or I get antsy, and I have to go out of the room and take a break and grab a drink. I also dreaded fire alarms at school due to the sharp sound. I do belong to a social group of young adults with ASD. One of my good friends is a member (he's 22 days older than me and also has Asperger's), and he had a hell of a lot more time with school that I did (in both the public and Catholic system); he claimed the teachers and principals were bullying him, but I think it was the other way around as he can get very loud and disruptive; he had to change schools 3 or 4 times, finally finishing grade 12 at a special education centre. One of his principals didn't even know what Asperger's was! My grades weren't very good in high school, but I had a 73 average in my first year of college, 2009-10 (with high 80s in math, chem and physics and a 74 in human anatomy) and an 81 average in first semester of second year (fall 2010), before dropping out and taking some time off due to a diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder. I then picked back up in the winter of 2013 with a night school music program, graduating with honours two years ago. Next year I might take the 1-year full-time music program.

[@sarahedwards2]

Well I didn't have any anger issues.

[@momthegreatest]

Feel sorry for the son and his mother...

[@purences2260]

What a patient mother

[@346ask]

It feels like someone trapped in a body where they have no control. They are harming themselves because they wan't to get out.

[@whippyshave4514]

I'm crying I feel so bad
