Sad to watch.

True that people are born on varying ends of the Autism Spectrum Disorder. But, also true that the severity of symptoms directly correlates with how much intervention is administered.

This child is in the public school system, is 10 years old, nonverbal and presumably has no other means (use of special devices) of communicating. The result of that is what we see in this video.

Educating and empowering children with special needs is a blind spot in our educational system.

Oh my goodness 😖 I wish I knew what the hell was wrong with the world today. As someone with ‘mild’ autism, I still have moments where I am unable to move or speak - complete shut down - leaving you paralysed, screaming at yourself internally to move, say something, anything.. then to think what this poor child felt inside, without any ability to protect himself or advocate for his needs and safety. It breaks my heart. 😞
