I know this may seem unrelated but I’m putting this here because as a neurodivergent kid, I often had meltdowns over things that seemed silly. I really wish the adults in my life had treated me like a human being in distress rather than a kid purposefully being difficult. I can’t imagine how I’d feel had someone recorded me like that

And if you’re recording to show their doctor then why tf is it posted online ?? Give your kids some privacy in their vulnerable moments jfc

OP 3w

My father wouldn’t film me. But when I was getting upset at my sister annoying me (what I know now to be overstimulation) he would just encourage her even though I was obviously extremely upset. He wouldn’t do anything to stop it. And then I’d get punished after I lashed out back. I don’t blame my sister for it cause she was young enough to not know any better (and once she got older she realized she should stop). But I definitely blame my parents.
