I was arguing with some Moms of Autistic children on social media just because I said that autistic children should be disciplined despite their diagnosis. Meaning that as a parent, you can’t just be like “oh yeah, I can’t teach him anything or try to discipline them because he’s autistic.” Mind you, the discussion we were having was under a video that showed an adult with autism bolting into a stranger’s home, standing in the middle of the middle of the living room.

No exactly like they expect the world to just accommodate and accept extremely unacceptable behavior that they know they can correct but they’re not putting any effort into correcting at all and just making excuses because that’s easier on them than taking responsibility for their child’s actions

His mom was closely following behind him, profusely apologizing and saying that he was autistic. The owner of the house stood on business and instructed at the adult with autism by pointing at the door and saying “get the fuck out of my house. You can’t be walking into strangers’ houses.”

The adult with autism seemed to understand and started walking out without protesting. But the Moms of Children With Autism were saying that the home owner was so mean and ignorant for talking to him like that 🙄. Like, bro. Had there been kids in that living room, he could have easily gotten his ass beat or been shot with no questions asked.

That’s honestly dangerous for everyone involved. Like that’s putting your kid (with autism) at risk. Not everyone would just yell at an intruder, and not everyone knows they are autistic. If I had an unknown adult man barge into my apartment my first thought is not “well he might be autistic”. My first thought would be “I’m in danger”. It just sets your child up for failure. What’s that kid gonna do when they outlive their parents and were never taught anything.

Like it’s honestly disgusting how they think that they can just make excuses and their child is gonna get away with whatever they want…It doesn’t work like that and eventually, their child is going to get their ass handed to them because they did not teach them how they were supposed to be acting. I genuinely don’t know or understand how they can condone behavior like that

And I’m all for just you know being accommodating and accepting of absolutely everybody but when it comes to doing absolutely messed up shit like that and I’ve heard many other instances of just things like this happening that I’m just like no you know better and you should have taught your child better than that
