Well you are right just on the news Cho’s grandparents have indicated that he was diagnosed with autism when he came to America in the 1990’s. They indicated he did not talk to his mom or his aunt and he was ‘very cold’ which explains his aloofness.
I taught stage 1 violent SEBD autistic children for 2 years and it was a living nightmare. The abuse those kids used to level on me for just telling them to sit down for their lesson. I was bitten, kicked, hit, chairs thrown at me, head butted, scratched, and all we could do was restrain them. I taught elementary level and it drove me out of the teaching profession as I’ve never experienced kids like that before. I can understand now how Cho became that way if he didn’t receive any social skills training as a child then most autistic children cannot develop on their own as a normal child would through observation and repetition.
Anyway the article about him being autistic was found on the following website http://www.kwtx.com/home/headlines/7101526.html
Also he seems like a typical Christain terrorist as everyone keeps trying to find the muslim link somehow but he’s going on about Jesus on the cross and being crucified and Muslims don’t believe that Jesus died on the cross. They believe that he was taken up to God and God put another man to die on the cross and gave the resemblence of Jesus. This Cho had serious issues and his parents should have helped get him the treatment he needed as he was internalizing everything.
Thank you for that link. Very sad that no one was working with him. Did his college not know about the diagnosis? This should be the case that teaches us all that we have to diagnos autism much younger and work with them very early on. The characteristic that causes them to be so cruel is LACK OF EMPATHY. This is not something we should ignore.
I am very interested in hearing about your experience. For one thing, the school had to have been nuts to give you more than one or two at a time. Did they? My question though is: What is SEBD ? Thanks
