Well my thoughts on this is she needs to find a ‘private’ physical therapist....and it’s her resposibility to provide the ‘stimulation’ of other people where she can find it.....
Further there are many citizens with health issues far more serious that are going without treatment. Everyone has to find alternate care where they can.
You seem cold hearted. Thousands and thousands of seniors are suffering from being locked up 24-7. Even federal prisoners in solitary get one hour a day repreive.
These people are becoming empty shells and are withering away all because the corporation they rent from doesn’t want a lawsuit. Watch for the NEGLECT lawsuits.
People would rather live and risk getting the covid. I know I would.
The kid doesn't need treatment. The kid needs to interact with others who aren't wearing government-mandated face muzzles.
I’m in my 40’s and not Autistic, and this Covid anti-human social behavior stuff is killing me.
Sports Leagues - closed
Converse in grocery store - no one is talking
Socialize in coffee shop - nope
Gym - 6ft away with mask on(and it seems all the chicks are gone)
Dating - nope
Many mentally ill cannot cope with people in masks. They cannot take visual cues from facial expression when someone is wearing a mask. The def are also negatively affected.
Fox 13, Tampa had a discussion the other night about how special needs kids ate being hurt by the school lock downs.
then they can wear a visor.
Even California is about to back down on this. Newsom stated in a press conference last week that he will at least open up schools for “small groups” of moderately or severely disabled students and “for those for whom remote learning is not fruitful.” No details yet—supposed to come this week.
But remote learning isn’t fruitful for anyone. I have an ADHD teen, in the district’s records, but he likely won’t be let back into school because he has no IEP. But he wouldn’t want to be let back if all his friends are still remote.
Newsom needs to reopen schools ASAP—the criteria to reopen is impossible to meet (fewer than 100 cases per 100K per county per day for 17 days in a row). And private schools too. I hate my tyrannical governor!
I’m a Senior and well familiar with their plight.....so don’t rub that in my nose.
There’s a saying where there’s a will...you know it. If people have concerns for their senior members being in a home then pull them out of it.....Further there are still phones to use and computers to stay in contact face to face as well.....most senior care homes have yards and walking available..and possible for safe distancing.
Saying that Seniors are ‘LOCKED UP’ is cruel when there are other options possible for the willing.

BTW She could also use face time for interaction.
What I hear a lot of is people complaining when there are alternatives possible....yes it means you have to work with it, but often that is the problem. People don’t want to sacrifice there time or other activities to do what is needed. It’s much easier to put kids in schools and seniors in institutions.
Most people have to work full time—it’s not easy to homeschool or care for seniors in those scenarios (and keep one’s job).
Our Seven year old autistic grandson lives with us and this article is absolutely correct in every way. It just makes me so angry that this is happening and there’s nothing I can do about it.
Children shouldn't have to wear anything. They're not at risk for COVID-19. We shouldn't have to upend society, destroy the economy, cower in isolation to protect 85-year olds.
I agree that people must and should take responsibility for themselves and families when and where they can. The child needs facial stimulation? Invite friends and family over to the home so that he gets that. Nobody is masking the sun...go outside. If not able to do that, then vitamin d supplements make a huge difference. Unfortunately, not all seniors who are confined to convelescent care can speak for themselves and/or have nobody to speak for them. But those who do need to take the bull by the horns and act. Acting is true compassion.
Parents on the other hand also need to learn how not to depend on institutional care for everything. Learn how to deliver those lessons and care oneself.
Cold? No. Life isn’t easy but each of us need to learn how to stand on one’s feet. Therein lies freedom. You don’t sit around and wait for someone to do it for you. Ask for help when necessary, but if you can...do for yourself. At least be willing to try.
Single parents also can do so. The problem is people today are unwilling to make the sacrifices because they don't want to....it's that simple.
Our country is the only country that kicks our kids out at 18 and pushes our seniors into institution living. Although other Western nations are fast approaching us.
Indeed....
Charity does begin with your own family....
I often think the first thing God will ask each of us is what did we do with the family he gave us.
