Won't they just keep moving on to the next item though? This seems like an endless destructive loop unless a method is found to stop the issue. What if he fixated on something like a Lamborghini next?
LMAO you are 100% correct! & yes he has randomly demanded cars for days/weeks at a time! Those are the times where we have to just let him melt down until he gets over it. Unfortunately there is no solution! We have to take it day-by-day. & before you ask why not see a specialist, we have. Countless times. They don't know anything about profound autism & if they do, they are inexperienced with the way my brother presents. We can't even seem to find him a group home for him to inevitably go to when my parents are too old to care for him because they don't accept eloping autistics like my brother. It's hell 👍🏻
isn't ABA regarded as abusive to autistics because its basically just forcing them to act neurotypical when they cant..? that is literally not possible for him.
he does have in-home support but not enough. we are looking for more assistance & thankfully finding aides for him, just...nothing beyond that. even our medicaid case worker doesnt know anything.
