So I work for a kid with autism. And I know some people say you should let kids with Autism get away with more stuff because sometimes they don't understand why they don't get to do something. They sometimes can't be communicated too (depending on how severe the autism is). Now this kid has kept the mother up all night because she lets him do whatever he wants. I don't I block his way so he can only return to bed and he does fall asleep with me even if he screams in anger before. I always tell him its okay to be upset but that doesn't mean you can always get your way. Now he hasent slept all night, he will probblaby have a seizure. Am I abusive or I'm in the right?
by the way, this kid has severe autism so it's not like the normal level your friend has if you have any friends with autism.

People with autism generally need strict and clear rules. But letting any child just do as he pleases will turn it into a little nightmare brat. So its best you and the family start implementing rules and stop rewarding hurtfull behaviours. Reward good behaviours instead.
Also it would be a good idea getting help from professionals. In general picture cards help structuring the daily life.
Yes I am hired to work for him:) im not gonna call myself a proffesional but I've taken courses and I have years of experience in autism. But im no expert this is my job tho so then they would need to fire me and I dont want thatππ
If you can teach someone with autism discipline then you might have a talent that might be highly wanted in many places, I don't see anything wrong with that
Okay thank you!
