Demonizing the Disabled

This morning I checked my email notifications, and GreatSchools.org has updated its article list and mailed it to us unsuspecting parents. Usually it is neutral or decent to read.

Unfortunately now that Mr Trump has courageously started open battle with Big Pharma, the propaganda mills are turning hard. They aim to bury Mr Trump in shit and set the "neurotypical" slave class against families who speak out against vaccines and psychoptropics for children.

Imagine my shock as a mother of a child who has experienced environmental harm, who has been at times debilitated by the factors accompanying autism, by no fault of his, when GreatSchools publishes this:

(Bear in mind they resurrected a month old article)

Tic, twitch, or annoying bad habit?
Young kids are prone to all sorts of bad habits and repetitive behaviors — some more disruptive than others. Here’s what the experts say.

...

A few months earlier, Heather recalled, her son had done this eye-squinting thing, where he’d wrinkle up his whole face a few times when someone asked him a question. And before that, it was repetitive yawning that didn’t seem related to being tired.

She’d never worried too much about these behaviors before, but seeing her son’s hair twirling on display made her worry something might really be wrong.

“I didn’t handle it all that well,” she admits. “I basically threatened him with a buzz cut unless he quit doing it.

Luckily I mentioned my concerns to his principal, who said it looked to her like something that would probably pass quickly if I just ignored it. And she was right.”

...

Trump is good at statistics. He's no fool. He can see and he can read, just like most autistic people can see and read and add 2+2 in a world full of hostile shit.

Heather the Macy's Mom in the article above cares more about what others think about how her son looks. She does not give a fuck about the neurological damage that causes hair tugging and eye squinting. She's so horrified by her retarded child that she takes the neglectful principal's advice and "just ignores" the "unwanted behaviors".

By making his neurological tics "his fault", this mother has successfully dehumanized her son and created an artificial distance between them that very little is likely to bridge.

Because of hostile, ignorant, uncaring Narcissas like this featured mother, people with actual disability are shamed and tortured into complying with school policy that is economically illegal and often physically abusive.

Some of us parents would rather see the schools fail completely (which is what happens without PTA anyway) than see them pick off individuals of disability for special torture and ridicule.



How about, "Heather, he can't fucking help it, and you are a little bit behind on your parenting research"?

In a world that kills kids, you can't stop educating yourself just because "you graduated"....

Now, way down the page below the divisive and judgmental language in the headline, remember we are supposed to remember that tics are "annoying", we get to hear what the actual neuropsychologist thinks.

But keep in mind most families can't afford an expert to advocate during IEP meetings, and in most cases the school will attempt to blame the family or the child in order to avoid incurring the expense of an education.

And our disabled kids will keep wearing the Dunce cap because the schools themselves are the #1 reason parents listen to half assed vaccine propaganda in the first place. They fuck up your kid's immune system and throws off the neurological development by years, then turn around and say your kid is unmanageable.


Food for some very sad thoughts.
People should use their journalism to help them, not help schools criticize them.

What the experts say, in an article about equal opportunity and non discrimination, would be at the top, not below the OmgNotAgain story of the embarrassed mother at a Christmas play ot whatever.

Over at Websleuths before i disabled my account last month or November, there was a thread where Lots of WS members were arguing about the way an autistic child was treated during a Thanksgiving play.

Many people were making hateful comments about the child being a huge disruption etc.

It was a fucking Play, not a Serious. And it was like 8 year olds.

Omg get over the fact that kids don't care about our perfect image, they don't care how many yuppie heads turn in Starbucks when tantrum happens in checkout line, they should not be expected to.

Kids aren't competitors in the world of sex, yet parents seem to think that kids should have no flaws, no chance to work on flaws, and maintain that squeaky clean impossibly pointless tv image...

Disclaimer.

I'm hard on the mom. But her first reaction was to punish the child by buzzing the hair, it was the principal who helped her avoid the abusive response. Good lady.

The school where my son was hair pulling buzzed it off before they told me he was doing it. The group home mentioned it but the school didn't bother telling me.

You got to remember, those of you who are parents who have not fucked it up yet, that most schools have a legal interest in denying involvement and help, and unfortunately children like my son, who have been abused by parents or peers, get neglected the very most by schools.

Moms simply can't afford to buy in to that.
