inna my words should be to have said never to go without the use of a

constant support person.

but what approaches made me cringe was the one person shared a psychologist

came to observe a very large person of autism who had behavior of kicking

and would kick anything in her path if upset, well the psychologist suggest

the teacher stand direct in front of the person and firmly tell her no

kicking, like this is to be to help a person of ASD in crisis, I to know it

would not be to help me. Well the teacher did this and be to get kicked much

hard, then the therapist to be to comed back and said to tell her to do sit

ups and to sit behind her and force this person of ASD to do so many sit ups

for each fraction of kicking LOL NO connection what so ever to the cause or

teaching this person a better way. He was out to extinguish a behavior that

he had little understanding of the whys too. They also told the teachers to

sit firmly on the person as in a restraining like hold. These to me are such

cruel punishments tot eh person of ASD. If they would be to have looked more

into the whys of it and then worked from that angle they would be to have

seen how it had a purpose and a cause for the person with ASD. They could be

then had chance to adequately address the issues and give the person dignity

in their being. The above approaches are from an ignorant pro who knows

little about autistic forms of communications. It is pros like him that

makes me of to be angry for the children's of ASD growing up now. Too much

wrong approaches. very little knowing of correct approaches.
