@amynicolerogers: This is what non verbal autism looks like. For extreme autism they aren’t misbehaving they are having a meltdown due to there brain struggling. My Besty is a hero! #happytuesdays #hanksfriends #autism

Wendy Barrett601 :

😢 what will happen to these kids when you're no longer around? nobody else wants this type of responsibility placed on them 🤔

snapcrackletez :

Oh look at all the experts as per usual in the comments 🙄 drives me insane. You do you mama, I’m sure you’re doing an amazing job, I have an Autistic daughter too 🥰🩷

nats89 :

i have 2 kids with autism...i always tried to avoid the triggers but they do come😭😭😭😭 im lucky that i have managed to help my 2 kids to deal with the situation and no longer get meltdowns but i do have to add my entire town helped me with the process...the staff at the shops, restaurants aswell as the community 🥰

tab :

Autism is a reasoning for action, it’s not an excuse for behavior. So yes he’s clearly frustrated but are we teaching him this is ok actions used when we are frustrated ? You have to teach them how to regulate and just letting them do whatever is a disservice to them.

NormRam60 :

That’s not ok

johnsb50 :

not fair to others in public

❤️❤️❤️ :

so glad I don't have kids. I couldn't imagine dealing with that

Rachel :

I couldn't cope !

greene595 :

Serious question. At what age was therapy started ? I have two asd sons and I’m always curious about ages of intervention

Inkedqueen4rm562 :

I had students in my class who started off that way , but with redirection , communication boards, and patience I was able to help regulate this type of situation. I’ve noticed that kids only do this to parents because they allow it , it is a behavior and you can teach different ways to regulate his body . It’s not easy but possible

Royalty Vuitton :

Y’all are very weird in these comments 😬 allow me (a Registered Behavior Technician) to share a little insight here…. ANY behavior (from an autistic person or not) is seeking one thing: communication! That is not by any means validating that it is okay to aggressive. Obviously it is not. That’s what us RBTs and other professionals teach— proper ways to request what it is they need.

Jordan :

I so hope this comment isn’t inappropriate, I know different families feel differently but does he type? He looks like he’s trying very hard to communicate something

Chido :

Really needed to see this today, my son has been having a lot of meltdowns this week.. 😭

Artsymarsy :

And he’s not trying to hurt you, he’s looking for connection. But someone on the outside doesn’t understand

brennaoeffinger :

My son acted like this once and we haven’t been out to eat as a family since. I cried my whole way home.

Robin :

Yup that’s me

Kristy🦋💐 :

sadly I wouldn't be laughing, for me, this would be embarrassing in a public setting

Mama Watano5 Simba :

My prayer everyday to God is to healing all autism kids in Jesus name 🙏 Courage mommy and be strong 💪🏿

crissy :

You are doing an awesome Job mom 🙏🏾🙌🏽❤️👏👏 From one mom of an autistic son to another

Ladybug 🐞 :

It truly takes an incredible amount of patience and understanding to manage. I used to work at RHD Life Path Step-by-Step with many individuals on the autism spectrum and more, and oh my God—so many of them still hold a special place in my heart. But after I had my babies, it just became overwhelming for me. Bless those parents who continue to love and handle this every single day.

Coco Savage :

You are the right mother for your child.

My Pearly Life :

yeah, educators dont get paid enough to deal with this or the training

Janeway Girlie :

He probably likes pressure either on his forehead or like to kind of between the eyes. I have a kid that loves to use her chin and press down and so we have to be very careful with the way that we allow her to do that because she can really hurt us with the amount of pressure she puts on her chin and Vice versa.
