Comment on It's never a bad time to check your biases

I then started swearing and pooking for anything that could be used as a melee weapon, I settled for a table. So yeah your mileage may vary when it comes to autistic kids on that one.

Oof, yeah I could see how that could happen. I guess you really should know the kid before trying something like that. I usually find that making mine laugh is enough to start to reset them, and then helping them calm down is a lot easier.

I was 7 or 8, but that didnt matter too much since I had already started puberty.
