She's going back to work, goes to a law conference.
Then there's a smack-damn good description of an autistic meltdown.
"As so often happens in moments of acute panic, I disassociate."
Hunh.

She acts like Zack getting a high school diploma is not really needed if he can grocery shop alone or have a job.
Lady? You can hardly get a job with a BA these days, much less a highschool diploma.
In her own world.

Zack is going to first grade in 'normal' school. She's having trouble with the parents of other autistic kids NOT wanting her to use the word Autism in her speech. (This is a thing? Okay.)
"...my purpose is to educate, not obfuscate."
Well then, Lady,

She's taken him to an unfamiliar waterpark.
Why does she persist in doing this to him?

She's fallen into bad romance writer jargon to describe people at a water park.
It's rather a shame she doesn't turn her pen to fiction. She has voice. But then it'd be just as full of crap as this is.
Content warning on use of racial slurs g*psy.

and honestly, this woman is so bitchy about basic motherhood stuff.
Yeah, the job utterly sucks. You asked for it, shut the fvck up about it except for times when you're having wine with other moms.

Seemingly without preparation, she takes Zack on the subway.
She knows absolutely NOTHING about autism. If you people are asking her questions? YOUR WRONG TO DO SO.
#KaeEditsAUWE #ElmoMum
She's surprised when Zack shits himself. Seriously?
He's probably 5 or 6.

She blames EVERYTHING on Zack being autistic.
EVERYTHING.
So many things that autistics deal with can be handled easily and seamlessly with just a LITTLE forethought.
This woman shows NONE. Nor caring for her son.

This woman is disgusting. The next chpt she tortures her son, who she tortured w/ABA therapy into being afraid of dark, enclosed spaces...
w/a movie theatre. AND gives an arrogant speech to the other movie goers, blaming HER failures on Zack's autism.

And we're in a chapter praising the Tomotis method of 'training'.
I don't know what it is, but just because of the fact that the TODAY SHOW featured it, (they're a pawn for Auti$m $ peaks or so I've been informed.)
and based on how it's described, it's more autistic torture.

She must have the kid locked in his room the whole time. The passage I just read was all about how he pounds holes in the walls and overflows the bath tub because she's busy with the baby.
I just... can't fathom it. That's not cause he's autistic.

doesn't even recognize it in HERSELF. She has no idea her husband is likely autistic.
She'd never be able to tell *I* am. Probably couldn't tell w/my kids either.

The ABA councilor Cara, may she burn in hell, is advising HellMom to hide Zack's autistic confirmation for the private school he's going to be in.

This woman is TERRIBLE at communication.
She treats Zack as if he's an unthinking piece of luggage.
She's talking about social stories here, then describing how he keeps biting her.

When the plan changes it upsets Zack (Many autistics HATE changes in plans or routine, but we can learn how to deal with it given explanation and time to think about it.)
Instead, this woman doesn't seem to TELL Zack that something has happened to change

Because they don't think of him as a human being, they don't understand the likely motivation behind him smearing feces on the wall.

She even states a foundational prob of ABA.
"It's not functional so much as robotically scripted, cemented, and now inflexible."
I AM taking that out of context, she's talking abt how Zack, at 4 isn't learning any new words.

It IS common for autistics to speak late, but from the perspective of a teacher? ABA is BAD.

Here's a heads up on ABA. I've spoken to people who have survived it's 'teachings'. Almost every single one I've ever spoken to has had some sort of nervous breakdown when they can't mask their autism anymore.
