Doesn't this encourage children to claim they have autism?
I'm not downplaying autism, I'm saying this seems like a reward.
e-
Children are innocent, adults start planting seeds in their mind.
So these teachers or whom ever think they're doing something good but they're actually planting seeds in these kids heads.
e2-
There are so many young adults who just pull the "I have autism" card. Yet they're fully functioning adults...
In severe cases of autism the person is non-functioning or sporadic at best. People shouldn't use an illness as an excuse is my point.
Those teachers are setting up these young minds to use it as an excuse.
e3-
a kid sees their friends getting to do something fun, they'll say or do just about anything to be part of that fun.
Doesn't that mean the teachers are grooming them at that point. "see your friends, look at them being brave, you want to be brave too?"
e4- (maybe too far)
People wouldn't say, let's celebrate cancer. Why do they celebrate autism? It's so bizarre to me.
No idea, didn't watch.
