Sorry, my cat loafing on me is the reason why I'm late to work...
Genuine question for the higher support needs Autistic community and ACTUAL kind genuine care takers of them:
"Is there any channels on YouTube which are not creepy or exploitative that feature higher support needs Autistics?"
I started down a rabbit hole of watching some videos on YouTube of higher support needs Autistics people, and their carers because I was genuinely curious and wanted to know more. I have many friends who are lower or medium support needs, so I understand roughly what their day to day is like. But not for those on the other end of the spectrum.
However, unfortunately (but not really surprisingly because of how most youtube family channels are), what I get from the impression of most of the channels that I've seen is that it's just a bunch of fucking creepy ass grown adults exploiting their children for money.
I will not name these channels outright because I don't want to promote them in anyway on my page. But it's just gross.
Why do we live in a world where I even have to say this but:
It is NOT okay to be filming your underage child while their going to the washroom
It is NOT okay to let a babysitter be creepy towards a teenager in public while also filming it. He was clearly uncomfortable with it, but the adults chose to ignore his body language just because he is nonverbal
It is NOT okay to post videos of your child having a seizure
And It is NOT okay to post your childs autistic meltdowns all over social media.
What I think my friend did vs what he actually does when he said he "programed that himself."
Just got an ad for Koko so friendly reminder that this chatbot, like all chatbots, is a capitalist shitbot and not a real mental health resource that you can safely rely on.
Many countries have hotlines or live chat with REAL, TRAINED HUMANS that you can contact for help when you need it - you can find yours with a quick internet search. Please take care of yourselves and be safe π
