To be Disabled in a Pediatric Unit
“I feel sorry for this little girl. While it is not appropriate and sometimes even dangerous it is a way that Autistic children communicate. Autism is a neurological disorder which impacts the senses. The senses of a child with Autism is HEIGHTENED similarly to a person with PTSD who is very ALERT. So while the child did something inappropriate it is her way of saying “I choose to talk to you, I like you. Can we talk? Lets be friends.” But it ended up inappropriate and since the mother is also disabled and her condition usually may involve tapping on things to get her child’s attention… the child’s mind says “okay so this is communication indeed.” If you’re looking to blame someone blame health insurance, doctors, the federal healthcare system and politicians because there are PLENTY of resources since 1930-to present day to help disabled children and their families.”

The mom looks absolutely wrecked, like she’s about to fall apart as she walks up to the woman. I’m sure we don’t know how long she’s been there and for what, but I’m assuming it’s been a trying process. I assume the hospital has an ASL translator, but it still has to be insanely hard to talk about medical procedures and specific medical terms.

The lady filming is a good person for her reaction. Not mad at mom, not necessarily mad at the kid, just sympathetic to their situation. I had a friend in grade school who didn’t get a ton of social cues and had a deaf single parent, I wonder if there’s some correlation there

Wait...is this not the common reaction if a little child did this? I would assume it's just a child that has issues, throwing a tantrum, etc. The only thing that would bother me is if the mom played it off like nothing happened, or it wasn't a big deal. Children are little idiots...hell they're still idiots even when they just graduate college. Not sure why a child hitting me would make me freak out. I'd just feel bad for the kid.

Yeah lol, wtf were people expecting? It happened to me in a bus and I was just laughing and acted like the kid hurted me. That actually scared the boy.
But I wouldn't get mad at a kid or their parent wtf.

I had a friend in school with two deaf parents and man was that kid a little shit! He had an extreme problem with authority and telling him to do anything, as opposed to asking him to, would put the kid into a rage! I saw his poor mom break down crying more times than I can count! When she’d try to yell at him or tell him not to do something he wanted to do, he’d just refuse to look at her so she couldn’t communicate with him! Which always made his mom cry, of course! Who tf can treat their own mother like that?!?

Of course it is. She's a child, possibly with disabilities, and the first thing someone does is film them and put them online without permission, to be discussed and criticised forever. Anyone who doesn't have a broken moral compass can see that it's a shitty thing to do to.

u/Cobrex45 Apr 02 '23
Eh, posting it online maybe. She's a person of color and a little white child is doing for lack of a better term 'strange' things. It would not be weird for her to want some documentation to prove the situation is what is is, there are countless examples of situations where a persons 'word' is a judgement of skin color or social class. Sometimes it's safer to just have a record of what's happening.
To further attempt to understand this woman and everyone in this video. Perhaps she thought she was doing a net good for society by bringing to light the plight of other people. Certainly seems like she understands. Is it virtue signaling, and does that have some element of 'yuck' to it? Sure, but virtue signaling isn't always a bad thing. We only call it 'virtue signaling' when it seems fabricated. MLK, Ghandi, fuck even Anne Frank or any other historical pro-social figure if you want to get down to it, all 'virtue signaled'. The difference is everyone didn't have Tik tok to run to and if you wanted to be the cream at the top you really had to get dirty and face some consequences.

When my son was in the nicu, our naibors there were a deaf couple. The hospital had a computer monitor on wheels with a live translator. It was not the best system, as they only had one translator for the whole hospital, and if something happened late in the evening, they would have to wait sometimes hours till the hospital could get ahold of one on-call. That couple was so cute and sweet. I was so glad they did not have a long stay, but I sure missed their positivity when they left.

u/SignKitchen Apr 01 '23
Usually the hospital will have a video relay system where they can connect via a videophone to an ASL interpreter.
That being said, I've heard horror stories about things like nurses cancelling the VRS or interpreter requests because they "took a year of ASL back in high school."
14
u/danteheehaw Apr 01 '23
Every hospital I've worked at makes it extremely clear that you need to be a certified interpreter, and will fire your ass jn a heartbeat for trying to interpret anything medical related. This is a huge and easy lawsuit for a deaf patient to win. Hospitals do not fuck around with that shit. You may make small talk still.

Been a nurse over 10 years. This is completely untrue. The amount of liability you take translating in the hospital setting is insanely high. All just to practice their high school ASL?

The fact that you're a nurse and haven't heard of it happening in 10 years and haven't heard of something like that happening inspires a lot more confidence than I had. The stupidity of the idea of obvious, but at the same time seems like something that coworker would try doing.

u/cookletube Apr 02 '23 edited Apr 02 '23
I worked with a husband/wife doctor couple who were born and raised in India. Both spoke Kurdish fluently and still would usually wait for a hospital accredited interpreter (unless it was an emergency) to translate instead of doing it themselves because of the ramifications of taking on that legal responsibility of ensuring 100% medically correct translation. The idea that someone would cancel an interpreter to practice their highschool based language skills is absurd. If that happened, that nurse wouldn't be in the profession for long.
I've also had an interpreter ask me what a swab is though so the accredited interpreters aren't always that crash hot either.

A nurse increasing their own liability to save the hospital resources AND add more work for themselves? I would question whoever told you these stories because they don’t really make much sense, especially since ASL hasn’t ever even been offered as a course at any high school I’ve ever heard of. I don’t doubt they exist, just that they don’t exist enough for this to really make sense.

"Small child did something mean though ultimately harmless, and parent responds appropriately upon finding out" is about as harmless as it gets. Small kids have their moments of random meanness and love to sneak away when their parents are busy. There's nothing to conclude from that.
The person recording isn’t being rude
I'd quibble with that though. Either blur the faces or don't post it, it's just calling them out over nothing.

In this case I’m mixed, because honestly it is a pretty good example for all of us on cutting others a little slack. Many people might have jumped to scold the child or shout at the mother if this happened to them, if I’m honest I can’t even say I would have necessarily held my cool. But then you see the whole video play out, and you can see the struggle/tire on the woman’s face, and you realize “shit I was about to shout at that woman”. I dunno, I agree that it’s also kinda a sensitive moment that maybe shouldn’t be put out without permission, but I at least think it can serve a positive purpose unlike some stuff posted.

Autism is tricky because the spectrum is so massive, especially now that they are just clumping anyone with traits into a big pile and slapping the label "autistic!" On them. There are so many different facets. They are all individuals with different living conditions and varying severity. It's pretty difficult for there to be a single solution. You will likely find more help from resources that are strictly for autism. It's not an easy road. Just keep advocating for your child.

Thanks for your comment Qt.. and everyone else, I appreciate your debate but p PLEASE 🙏 lets not name-call.
The woman recording clearly did not feel comfortable. And we also have to consider the other facets of society nowadays… she recorded could have recorded because she was afraid of being sued or blamed for something she did not do. It is also possible that she was not aware of the parent and child being ‘unique’ and if she was maybe avoiding and demanding her space is all she wanted.
Some people are not interested in socializing. Some people just do not like children, their own or others. Some people get blamed for sh** they do not do. Some people just do not care about anything or anyone and just want to do as they please and live in their own little world forever and have no plans to change that. But I hope here on reddit people can think for themselves and be curious to learn more or something different. It is a choice sometimes a privilege.

They still all acted appropriately, being black she likely filmed herself for protection incase some white pig came and said she was harming the child, did you ever think of that? No you just jumped down her throat because youre a prick and want to side with this little demon shit.

Why do people keep bringing race into the equation for no reason? Are black woman so fucking stern on defending other black woman that they cant think beyond their own idiotic biases? It's ironic because the people claiming racism are likely the ones that are the most racist themselves. Her TT is flooded with people defending the child on the spectrum and then 90% of the people defending the woman happen to be other black woman lol. Hmmmm.
It's wrong to film childeren in a fucking pediatric ward of all places. Doesnt matter what race you are. Doesnt matter what gender you are.
If she was filming for her own protection why upload it to tik tok AFTER and put idiotic captions where the spelling is of a 3rd grade level? Why not blurr her face? Why then post a 2nd video of the child even later and block comments because she was getting heavy heavy backlash? Why not take the video down? How would you feel if your autistic child was being filmed in a hospital? Please never have children - though looking at your selfies, my guess is that's a problem you will never have. Ugly on the outside and inside is a great combo for never having kids at least.

She is non-verbal and is Autistic. She’s not a ‘little shit.’ Please educate yourself on people that are neurodivergent. They cannot help everything they do. What a shame that your entitled, ableist brain cannot see that we aren’t all the same and that filming a little girl without consent is wrong. Educate yourself on different types of people and you may learn quite a-lot.. empathy for one is something you deeply require.

🤣🤣🤣 a 1min with less than zero information besides what is fact based which is that the child in question is hitting a stranger and the mother is the one who’s deaf and you all want to pull straws out of what now it’s amazing how chivalrous y’all get when it’s a black woman who’s being harassed.

u/lbs4lbs Apr 02 '23
For the uneducated yeah.
Apprently, people are too lazy to spell out "her" or "for" or adding the a in "about"
"Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick"

In the USA there are people from rural, suburban and urban communities and every state, hood and nook has their own ‘dialect’

How is anyone getting that this child is autistic? That's a whole lot of exposition for a short clip. Everyone in the clip handled things the best possible way, but sometimes kids just do dumb shit.

u/SaltyHunni Apr 02 '23
Everyone making this child autistic is wild just because they’re acting out and the description says disabled omfgaia I’d have dragged that little monster over to her mother, poor momma needs some help.

You should really think twice before putting your hands on anyone else’s kid. Some may just chew you out and some may just send you to the adult side of the hospital.

They are so sweet. Both are going to be pillars for each other getting through this world together. Living life is hard, then having to live in it as disabled then to place another challenge as raising a kid with a disability while having a disability. This mother is stronger than many.

Filming in a pediatric unit and posting this child's face on Reddit is wrong. Give this child and family some dignity. This is just a full invasion of their privacy.

Filming a strangers child and putting it online…really not ok.

u/Caramelax21 Apr 12 '23
Yeah. It’s not fair and the commentary was tough to watch too. The woman is praising the mom for being pissed off. The person we should be blaming is schools and health insurance. It is cliche but it’s not. There are several teaching styles and methods that are more effective and helpful than crap common core. And there are many forms of behavioral therapy but insurance does not cover it. The poorer a parent is the more BS they have to deal with.

"I feel sorry for this little girl." Why? She seems fine.

Her cheeky smile as she's thinking about doing it again was adorable.

I'm calm.
You literally called someone a "fucking psychopath" over it.
I am sorry but you are the asshole in this scenario, along with anyone who upvoted your original comment here.

u/staggernaut Apr 01 '23
Honestly I'm not surprised. These people would rather us cast shame on this mother trying to take care of her child than see her as a mischevious and curious kid.
The OP caption really says it all.

This is the dumbest take.
- There are plenty of things that are considered “cute” as a kid that are not cute as an adult. It’s called context, use it.
- the mother did discipline her for the action

I disagree. I think her behavior Is actually endearing: it’s on us to understand those who are different.

It can be vaguely scary and cute, it's like watching any intelligent being test the limits. I just wish it was more culturally appropriate to hug, then the mother could've ordered the child to hug the stranger - raise huggers, not fighters

I didn't realize standing 3 inches from someone is normal. I'll be sure to stand in your personal space, when you hit me it's your fault!
