Whether you think he's a douchebag or not, I'd have just dumped her on the side of the road and left. Holy shit she's a terror, and I thought autistics 5 year olds were bad.

This dentist know he's fucked-When the press came for a statement he called the cops from the refuge of his strip-center office on Route 3 near the pig farm-

Look people, your bullshit-dentist radar should have gone up when you saw the name of the place: Amazing Family Dental clinic...WTF, Illinois??!

Did this idiot see the chart and mistake the extractions for good teeth???...I think so! I'd have the fucker's practice.

Do they know they look weird?

"People can see you." May have implied something by the way this person said it but it doesn't always. It can be stated flatly as a fact, I talk that way most of the time.

Are autistic people going to get upset if I say "Your shirt is blue"? If they do, then Fuck'em I'll say what I want.

It's ignorant to say those things to an autistic person.

They know they look weird, and can't help it. They'd stop if they could. It's like telling a fat person they look fat. Ignorant.

"People can see you" also implies that they could control it if they wanted, and should maybe think about stopping. That's ignorant.

Some of these things aren't ignorant, they're just opinions...or stated facts.

"That looks so weird" Is an opinion.
"People can see you." Is a fact.

Both are pretty rude. So I suggest this video be retitled "The Rude Shit People Say to Autistic Weird Fuckers."

This is so far away from what I could possibly imagine a normal brain being capable of, I wonder what is happening in his head. Is this like the autistic guy that can accurately paint an entire cityscape from memory after a single viewing?

Hah, I never noticed it before but Bob really is an autistic person. It is like giving a backwater hillbilly an apple tablet and a roaming internet stick and giving free reign to express the hillbilly thought process. Funny thing, it seems though that the hillbilly can spell.

When I first saw this vid, with more information than just pictures of the booth, my first thought was "Templin Grandin." She's the autistic woman who designed all the slaughterhouses for humane killing of cows. She noticed how they calmed down when they were put into narrow spaces and held close.

She started doing it to herself -- confining and constraining herself in a self made "holding pen." It worked great.

This booth reminded me of that. @Hunter's link above confirmed it. As the kids get older, they actually request the booth and go voluntarily.

Things like this make me wary about signing petitions from irate folks -- I want to hear the whole story, usually, before I'll sign something.

I don't know about the specific kids that they have, but I know that some kids with severe autism can become agitated very quickly and lash out violently. If that's the case with these kids, I don't see the harm in letting them cool off in the room for a while.

Louis Theroux did a great documentary on parents of autistic children that shows some extreme examples of this.

Autistic kids have white people problems.

Wonder if he is autistic/idiot savant.


If so he is highly functioning and very social =o)
