Oh my gosh. Nothing about that child that a trip to the woodshed wouldn’t cure? I had so much respect for you on the abortion threads. Lost almost all of it from what you say here.
I used to get nasty comments trying stupidly* to bring my son with autism to family holidays and parties, and he couldn’t cope. One uncle hissed to me that “all that boy needed was a good spanking with a belt.” I told him what I am telling you now.
YOU CAN BEAT A LITTLE CHILD WITH AUTISM UNTIL THEY DIE FROM IT and it wouldn’t fix them. They can’t “learn” or be “taught a lesson” from being hit. They don’t respond the way other children would. You can’t beat the brain dysfunction out of them.
I don’t see how someone who cares for infants the way you seem to can be so hateful against children with disabilities. I will choose to believe someone broke into your FR account because this just doesn’t compute.
*The correct thing to do, 20-20 hindsight for anyone who is in this situation, is to get a beloved babysitter and leave the autistic child at home when there are holiday parties. They would rather be in familiar surroundings with familiar toys. And you can see your extended family. At the time I wanted my only child to experience holidays the way we did. Doesn’t work for everyone.
Well said.
