How to raise an autard

The local newspaper had an article on Cambion's question about what dentists have to do to work on autards. They have to use sedation for even the simplest dental work.

This explains why you see so many autards with bad/ugly teeth. They're just too much of a hassle for routine dental work. The same would be true for other medical procedures. There's a backlash in state legislatures about it now, but autards are normally not allowed to receive organ transplants because of this issue and their inability to care for themselves and follow medical protocols after a transplant.

That raises questions about this case with the kid from China in the other thread. He's probably already a handful at any medical facility.

I imagine even administering sedation is a hassle. The simple task of putting a mask on a flapper to administer nitrous and telling them to breathe most likely results in a meltdown for any number of reasons, and good luck keeping a mask strapped to the awtard's head when they decide to go into rage mode. Most handlers of autistic brats feel they can wash their hands of their responsibilities when the child is dumped on someone else too, so good luck trying to get Moo to help wrangle the fucker.

This case study describes a hulkatard that wouldn't even go into the dental office and then proceeded to resist every sedation given to him save for sub-musocal and I have no idea why this wasn't resisted too - I assume pure luck. He was also prone to not holding still, involuntary movements and had classic retard strength and had to be physically restrained during the procedure too.

This is an article on how parents and doctors can survive an awtard medical visit. It includes such things as pestering the staff to see if the doctor is ready to see them yet to minimize wait time, doing a practice visit with the awtard, role-playing with medical tools, and practicing relaxation techniques. I imagine these things all do precisely jack shit because awtards are highly unpredictable and even with practice visits and thorough explanations, they could still easily melt down over dumb shit like a blue door when the tard hates blue.

And from the same site, this one says to discuss individual accommodations for the awtard, using distractions, discussing prior negative experiences so this next one can be made more bearable, having a backup plan if the awtard still melts down, have doctors explain every single thing they do before they do it, and using rewards to support the awtard through the visit and/or testing.

Even when you do all that bullshit, you never know what will set them off on a given day, even if the parents know their triggers and work to avoid them. Tardley may decide that day that he doesn't like how an ear exam feels when he tolerated it at every other visit and clock the provider in the mouth. I'm pretty sure awtard breeders take their little flaptards to the hospital for one reason only: to get an autism diagnosis for a crazy check and nothing else. I don't blame them when all that crap up there is what has to be done to survive a fucking office visit.

And to be honest, I'm kind of glad to hear that (presumably severely) autistic people are not eligible for organ transplantation. I know there are plenty of autistic people who can take care of themselves more or less, but the ones with toddler-like brains that are violent and require constant care don't need to be getting organs. Not when there are sane, independent people who have actual lives who would use and appreciate a transplant more than an awtard who will throw tantrums, shit themselves and punch group home staff for the rest of their lives.

How come they're practically always so huge? It can't just be junk food.

I am so tired of seeing someone useless like her, have more lasting value. Than say a CF doctor candidate or a nursing student, even a cashier or wait staff. But until all these forced-everything idiots are voted out we will have to endure.

Totally my life except for number 3 and some modifications to 4-6, plus I avoided most beatings by hiding or keeping my distance.
My Duh expects everyone else in the family to keep my autard brother quiet while he does his phone calls, but he can’t do it himself and would tell us to go somewhere else in that situation. I rarely get to make phone calls in the house and I also rarely got to leave the house because breeder dad couldn’t be with him for more than an hour. Meanwhile he could go out for his hobbies and vacations whenever he wanted.
Both parents often tell me I’m responsible for tard brother when they die, but not with a daily reminder.
Breeder dad always has time for his iPad games whenever he’s home, but he yaps to my mom and me about how busy he is.
The real kicker? Duh had the retard genes and didn’t tell my PNB mother before he asked her to copy his precious genes.
