Agressive Behaviour: Autistic or Special needs children. Thank you to the Caregivers and Parents😘 #LadyFi
And then more than anything else, you need a health professional that can help you understand and handle the aggression and the behavior, because sometimes it can be really violent. And I hate that. For us and for anybody that's going through it, I'm whispering a prayer to God right now that he would give you peace. That he would give you strength, because it's hard. It's already hard enough to be a parent
Working with the special needs community, mostly I've worked with autistic students. I've worked with emotionally disturbed students. I've worked with students who have physical disabilities. Right now I'm in a classroom that was very volatile. Every day was a struggle, aids in that class, and two or three teachers could not handle the students that we had in there. And usually I go into these situations as a specialist of sorts. I mean, I don't have the full title of it

But it is hard out there in society to work with autistic children. And it takes a special person to do that because autistic children know who they can trust. If you're not trustworthy, then you won't be good at working with autistic children. They have to feel safe, and any little thing can make them feel unsafe, which leads to temper tantrums and fits

Thank you, Simon, so much. That job that you have, you are an angel from God, because I can't imagine the rambunctiousness or the confusion or the chaos that could occur without a system. And you've been working very hard to have that system in place. And God bless your aides and every one that works with you, because working hand in hand to make everything better is worth it. We don't know what we're going to get as children

And then once she's done with the ticks, she can move on. But I have to say the same thing I said to Simon, to you. God bless you. There are people in this world that are meant to deal with children that have disabilities. The parents, of course. And then sometimes when the parents can't, there are outside individuals, health professionals and real professionals that can help. And you guys are wonderful helpers. I'm very grateful to know you

There's a page on Facebook for special needs kids in Staten island where parents sit down and we all talk about different things that's coming up and how we can have our kids meet each other and play, and then they have pool parties and they have softball games and all types of things out here, which is great for them

And if he does, then we'll deal with it at that time and we'll work on ways to deal with it and it not be an issue. But again, thank you for this. Swell. Thank you for putting it up. And it is not easy dealing with autistic children or any children with special needs, especially when they are not able to communicate effectively what it is that they're thinking or feeling. And that's very frustrating for them as well, right?

All children need love, but especially children with special needs. And like you said, if we get frustrated, we lash out. So can you imagine not being able to speak the way you want or communicate the way you want? Yes, it can be frustrating just like you said. So I understand and I thank you so much for responding because it's good to get a perspective from people that actually have to live and breathe this every single day. And you know I love you

We did something wrong in order to have an autistic child or a child with special needs or, oh, there's nothing wrong with them. They just need a good old fashioned ass whooping. Those are just myths. And I love the fact when people get on here and prove those myths wrong, because even in my family, my father was like, oh, there's nothing wrong with her. She just need an ass WHOOP and blah, blah, blah

I can't expect for him to react or do things the way I would do it or the way I see it. I have to allow him to see things and understand things through his eyes so that he will know how to deal with these situations. Because basically all I'm trying to do is prepare him for life. I look at these commercials, I see a lot of different things where it says they have like, this is a job for an autistic person
