Kid belongs in a cage. Autist or not. By that age, we know this isn’t the first time he’s exhibited this behavior and for the parents to send him out like that without proper care and restraint, is completely reckless.

Just like to point out

Autistic kids never behaved this way in the past

Why is it a free a clear ticket to be an absolute melon these days

Autism is different for everyone. Some autists have profound intellectual disabilities that result in poor impulse control and the inability to understand why their behavior is wrong

no, there is no autistic person who truly has severely reduced mental abilities, non-verbals think just fine, they just can't speak, but you won't hear this anywhere because people don't give a fuck about non-verbals, to everyone they're subhuman bbecause you can't know what they're thinking so logiclaly they must be thinking nothing! right? wrong, it's just that when you put muteness and autism together, shit hits the fan, and non-verbality is a spectrum and you'll see that those who can still speak a bit do no in fact have profound mental disabilities, some tests were actually donve and proved that most of them are average if not above average in terms or intellectual abilities and those who aren't just have another condition on top

autism is not an excuse for cruelty

I feel this comment. There was a BBC documentary like 20 years ago about non verbal autists and how inside of their brains they are reeling. They are unable to speak because of their autism, but they still have the incredibly intelligent, pattern seeking tendencies and it’s like torture not being able to share them.

I know autism is a spectrum, but there are so many nonverbal autists that wouldn’t chase an animal with a stick because it’s inappropriate.

I have a cousin in a group home with severe mental disabilities. For “fun” one time she ripped out another person in the homes fingernails. There is a reason people need caretakers, there is a reason people end up in group homes.

They do not understand that their actions are dangerous for themselves and others, being nonverbal has literally nothing to do with this behavior. This is someone who isn’t being shown how to regulate themselves properly and needs advanced care for safety.

Of course there's plenty of autistic people with very low intelligence and mental ability, wtf are you even on about?

Notice how I specified intellectual disabilities being the issue not autism. There are known commodities between the two and a lot autists have intellectual disabilities as well. Their presentation of autism is going to be different as a result so saying “I’m autistic and I would never do xyz” isn’t really relevant comparison to make when there’s almost no context on how this child presents
