So i took that title literally O.o
Also, body language of this guy practically radiates autism. So much i have doubt the teacher thing was even real and its just a Bully trying to see how he’d react.
I think that sadly, they’re a teacher, and a bully
Oof that was painful! He handled it well though.
“You must not be good at your job”
I don’t think teachers working with autistic children are qualified enough to recognize autistic adults. Because like everything in life you need to deal with it in the adulthood so you learn to hide it.
Although I am not 100% sure if I am autistic, so take my words with a grain of salt.
As a random internet person, I can certifiably say you are 100% Autistic
Well, yes, a teacher. The highly qualified in mental conditions/developmental conditions. Very much known for their training in psychiatry
The sad part is that they are a special ed teacher. Imagine what misconceptions they are promoting.
Yeah, they might have actually received training for recognizing autism and apparently, it’s rather even misleading them.
They didn’t actually say that. They said they “work with special kids”.
This tells us two things: they work in an education system which doesn’t strictly segregate autistic kids out of mainstream, and they’re about 10 years behind the pedagogical terminology. Which puts them just right for being an ordinary teacher in Britain, sticking their oar in where it doesn’t belong.
ATAB. when as an institution you start labeling accessibility needs as “special needs” that’s how you create a perfect culture for abuse.
I’m pretty sure she got mad he calls himself autistic because he’s not a child she can abuse and shows signs of agency
You mean the underpaid people who often try their best, pay for materials (and sometimes even class parties) out of their own pocket and enter into one of the least rewarding professions are as a whole, bastards?
This teacher may be a clown, but don’t try lump them in with a 30 second sound byte from a clown. She may just be sick of all the autistic jokes she has to hear.
My teachers turned up each day and put up with me and the class often being little shits, I am eternally grateful for them.
Also, if you rename special needs care as “accessibility” then in 2 years that will become the next insult.
damn, thanks for proving that it’s not just reddit users who struggle with reading comprehension
