Let Skinned and his ilk go in there and have to restrain kids with mental illness. I used to work with adults with autism and fuck me was that a hard job. Imagine trying to prevent a 220lb man from biting and beating another adult meanwhile doing in a way that's safe on them or be open to a shitstorm of liability.
I've never worked with children I've only worked with adults and seniors. Are you trying to insult me?

My mother works at a residential care facility full of mentally ill people. I've helped her do the training for about 10 years now. I'm not as qualified as skinned but f*** would I never want to actually have to use that stuff. You're basically required to put your attackers Health above your own and take a beating in the process. Your restraints can't even come close to hurting the other person.
This is true. "Sorry i headbutted you i thought you were a demon" is literally something I've been told.

Autism is not mental illness.
Also true. Its pervasive. Mental illness can be treated, autism is managed.
Same medicines are used. Risperdal and Depakote often...clearer thinking and calmness.
