    What is your reference point? Do you have multiple non verbal autistic children or are you referring to online articles?

    I’m around many autistic kids just through association and am fully aware that not every autistic kid is the same. Kind of an asinine assumption you’ve made there.

    Are you suggesting that this kid possibly lies down and cries in pain for two hours often enough for staff to ignore the child? I find that interesting considering that when the school called the parents they asked whether an ambulance should be called.

      I spent a decade as direct care staff, working with -I don’t even know how many kids. At least a couple hundred.

      And yes kids do that. It takes time with a specific kid to recognize the difference between them having a tantrum, a meltdown, or a legitimate emergency.
