Autism-not just familiar or commercialized attributes.

Post Reply New Topic

My friends daughter, she is four years old. She is very afraid of crowd, does not want to be touched and social situation is very confusing for her. Her working mom and full time nanny are very aware of the situation. This Monday mommy had some work to do and the nanny had to attend a family party so they arranged a babysitter. The sitter was aware of her autistic condition, diet etc. At some point the child got agitated. The sitter thought to have some fun activities with the kid. She took her to a heavy mall ,the child almost fainted and she started to shout .Babysitter wanted to calm the baby down , frequently touched her ,even few people was being friendly and trying to calm her down too at the mall, which leads to more of a situation, the baby was scared to death. Mom rushed to bring her back to home and freaked out on the sitter. Its mom’s fault too she didn’t give the sitter full ideas of her unique condition. We always forget to remember how unique each autistic kids are and their condition.

Each child is unique with their condition.We should treat them as such.

The idea is not to lay blame, but that all parties learn correctly from this incident.
