Schools where kids are treated like the picture in this post and educated with YouTube videos and free printouts. Having a problem with anything gets the kids treated like this picture, and they're gaslit into believing their feelings are non-issues that don't matter.

The kids will deteriorate into zombies who don't shower, because if they don't like being dirty then they just need to get over it. They won't wipe their ass anymore because wanting to wipe is just a spoiled attitude hissy fit tantrum and not wasting resources on non-issues is being good.

Everything other than being a zombie robot that does exactly what it's told immediately results in being this picture. Everything they remotely feel positive towards is used as a "reinforcer", literally a bribe, or is used to emotionally abuse them, which always results in them losing interest in whatever the thing is.

All schoolwork really is watching a YouTube video, answering questions and writing a summary of the video. Some subjects will be reading a book or passage, then answering questions and writing a summary.

Gym is a reward if the whole 12-person class is good which never happens because suddenly a Star Wars shirt is inappropriate to wear and everyone is punished because you specifically decided to wear an inappropriate shirt with a weapon on it. Everyone else is told to "thank their friend" and are conditioned into hating you for ruining everything. So gym class becomes health class where you watch a YouTube video on health, answer questions and write a summary. In between subjects, you read a book. You're not allowed to talk to anyone or do anything other than read. If you're on a page for longer than usual, you'll end up like the picture above because you're throwing a fit because you don't like reading.

But why does the kid have physical coordination issues, trouble lifting anything over 10 pounds, zero healthy hygiene habits, and no hobbies or interests? Why would the kid never say anything if they need help or if something or someone is hurting them? Why does the kid never look at anyone's face? Why can't the kid concentrate on anything, even things they used to enjoy?

Because autism. And the ABA school is helping, so no you can't go to another school. You're only going to have violent meltdowns at worst and stare into space at best in a regular school where no one gets manhandled for holding in a sneeze. You only don't like school because it isn't playing video games all day, so you just need to get over it, spoiled.

I'll be permanently mentally and physically stunted for the rest of my life, and that stupid puzzle piece will be blamed on it, while credited for every positive thing I ever accomplish. Fuck that puzzle piece. It's not even a real disorder, it's just an excuse to neglect and abuse a kid instead of putting effort into knowing them.

Most likely. I was in one from 2005 to 2015 and watched kids deteriorate into violent monsters and mindless zombies. I honestly wish I was just euthanized, that's less fucked up.
