Who protects the weak? - Snickerdoodle - 09-01-2026
It really hurts me to see all these children and individuals with autism and other mental debilitating illnesses be abused or assaulted or bullied by other people. There was recently a video I saw online of a boy being assaulted by two kids because he's autistic. It hurts my heart that they suffer in a world that's already different and difficult for them in ways they can't even express or recognize but yet are impacted and subjected to abuse and unnecessary violence.
Here's the article, not new but it resonates with me: https://www.nbcnewyork.com/video/on-air/as-seen-on/4-charged-in-recorded-assault-of-student-with-autism-in-nj-park/2617474/?amp=1

a family member recently came home from a 14 hour flight and told me they were sitting beside a 10 year old or so autistic child, completely by himself.
he was crying and shaking like no other
saying hes going home to meet his mother and father.
i really hope they didn't witness some type of trafficking event.

It's really sad that people prey on them and seek to do harm to children with autism

i pray the worst onto those.
some of the most mind-boggingly gifted people i have met were ones with autism.

Im so grateful for all the medical professionals that decide they want to become ABA's and hell these children with special needs learn to function in society and understand/express their behaviors and emotions in a way they never could without additional guidance.
If anyone may be interested in becoming an RBT or AB to help a family member you may know with autism or a learning impairment, check out my other thread about the free ABA program available https://sinister.ly/Thread-Leak-FREE-ABA-RBT-Certification
