12 Struggles Parents Don’t Talk About Having a Tough Child

Sometime soon - I'd like to openly discuss where the #safety line is drawn for other students, staff & educational volunteers when kid on kid violence happens & one of the kids is #ASD #SpecialNeeds. I haven't been able to figure this out. How can we keep kids like this in schools because we need to find ways to do that. Kicking them out doesn't help society, in the long run.

I support trying our best to help misunderstood ASD kids & helping them get more supports at younger ages. Many don't get enough supports.
I have tolerated a lot of physical abuses (being spat on, punched, kicked, getting scratched & hair pulled, etc.) because many #descalation methods didn't work on the job. I worked in an elementary school in North Saanich as a specialized teacher's assistant & all the students I worked with were ASD on varying levels.

We had 2 quiet therapy rooms. Those were the only safe sanctuaries for the ASD kids who felt overloaded & needed to be away from everyone else. Often, we had multiple kids having meltdowns & there wasn't any other sanctuary spots for them within the small school. I felt so helpless during those days but pretended everything was A-OK. I took kids out to the yard & to the gardens to try & distract them. Sometimes that worked. Other times, I had to deal with multiple screaming kids, having mass meltdowns at the same time - when we were constantly understaffed. That was a very difficult job. I was severely underpaid for it.

ASD kids needed more support staff in schools & they still do. They all deserve that investment from our government. They are all worth the investment.

@Supposenot They need time to recover. No child can learn if their mental health is shattered.

The goal of finding the ‘right college’ or ‘program’ is a dead end, if the child doesn’t want to do it. No matter their ‘potential’.

The Autistic Community is littered with former ‘Gifted Children’ who burnt out. I think that #autisticburnout is a bigger risk right now, than finding the right college.

Hope it goes well xx

@Supposenot Hey, I'm Autistic and so are my husband and 3 kids and we’ve been where you are now.

I have heard this question before, from parents of #AutisticKids and I wish someone had said this to me when I was in your position, so…

If your #Autistic child has had a rough time at school, the last thing they need is to be put back into an educational environment.

If they struggled for a year, then they need a year off. If it was 2 years, then they need 2 years off. At least.
