- Exposing Autism Speaks using just one clip from their own movie...
Don't believe the lies. They created this documentary to get people to donate on false pretenses... Its time we let the public know about it.

Her daughter can hear every word she is saying 😥
That is definitely the most disturbing thing about this clip to me.
And why is she smiling while she says it? Really weird.
@@Pixietoria The smiling seems to be a defensive mechanism; at some level she must understand how problematic what she is saying is - or at least how problematic others see it.
Also, I understand that our country and health and education systems seriously lack in desperately needed support for such families (take a look at Sweden's support for families with disabled children) *but* parents are adults who have consciously chosen to bring a sentient being into the world knowing there are risks involved.
Atleast she knows when to run LOL
People think that non-speaking autistic people are constantly in a zombie-like state and don’t understand spoken language at all. That is the furthest from true, ALWAYS ASSUME THEY UNDERSTAND EVERY SINGLE WORD YOU SAY
☹️
Imagine if any other disability was portrayed this way. "I contemplated swerving into oncoming traffic because I just couldn't handle my daughter's blindness. The only thing that gets me through the day is the fact that I have at least one normal child."
This woman is damaged.
"That would be preferable than having to put her in one of these schools"
Context is EVERYTHING
Context does not make either of these scenarios ok and the fact that you think murdering a blind child is preferable to sending a blind child to a school for the blind is horrific. In any context, you are a human being with poor morals
@@tedwards1025 for one who said anything about blind. For two you're sure adding a bunch of assumptions, do you know me or did you tag your own projections onto my words? For three, if you're not a mother who has had hard times, struggling, felt helpless and hopeless, then you wouldn't understand in the first place. The mind thinks things we don't always agree with . Especially during a moment of despair. That doesn't mean one would act on those . Thank you have a great day love its a beautiful day in this country 😊
@@tedwards1025* likes own comment* bahaha wow
A moment after this, she went to great lengths to explain that her daughter did not love her, only for the little girl to rush over, hug her and say "I love you, mommy.", the woman promptly shooing her away.
_"Damn it you little shit, you're ruining my narrative...!"_
Please excuse me as I die internally.
That poor child...
Where is that?
MTX157 How is that relevant tho
i told my mother about this and she said "well, honey, i think everyone with difficult child has had moments like this" and it was like "thanks for heavily inferring that you've considered murdering me"
she said difficult not autistic right, words are complicated, and some people exaggerate. as long as ur mom cares about u, thats what matters
No I've never had a moment like that.
You mean "implying" not "inferring".
Also I'm gay.
If you infer that something is the case, you decide that it is true on the basis of information that you already have.
as was pointed out before, wanting to murder your child is horrible in any context.
thanks for putting up that copyright notice! fuck them for making this video and thank you for exposing it.
That's true she shouldn't murder her child... I mean, she could've abandon it, right? Less blood spilled
I agree! It's horrible that this mother wants to kill her child just because they're on the spectrum. As an autistic person myself, I will in no way support the organization behind this film because of them making things like this
@@trolltoyourheart9051 or and here me out: SHE COULDVE SET HER UP FOR ADOPTION seriously what kind of mother would say that about there child!?
So abortion should be illegal.
I am so genuinely TERRIFIED for this autistic child in question being """raised""" by this woman. She'll develop suicidal ideation 100% because she has a mother who truly believes she deserves to die. Child services, immediately.
Right🥰
agreed!
100%- if I could rescue this child with my own hands I would take her in myself.
@@-Ray_Moon- We would see how long that lasts.
@@-Ray_Moon-
yeah, i dont want anyone to have this pain.
also. ppl cps can be one of the worst things to do
(speaking from first hand experience)
This just proves that we are treated like steaming piles of shite by Autism Speaks, the organization that is supposed to help us.
only 4% goes to helping autistic people. I refuse to support an organization that wishes i wasn't born.
Fr, and they want to find a "cure" for us? Excuse me 😐
I have it too this women is a piece of crap
As someone with Autism, I suggest we form our own organization that will be doing what Autism Speaks should be doing with their over 600 grand donations! Whose with me?
Fck autism speaks
Friendly reminder that this woman is saying that she would have committed murder-suicide because her child is autistic and that the only reason she didn't is because of her other, "normal" child.
Fucking
I can't
You can't blame her tho... If I had a child like that, I would just abandon, no point in trying to fix spoiled milk
@@trolltoyourheart9051 Are you kidding me? Please tell me you're a troll
@@tigerlily1619 totally a troll, I mean... bruh check my name
@@trolltoyourheart9051 OH MY GOSH I'M SO DUMB I DIDN'T NOTICE YOUR NAME I'M SO SORRY
@@tigerlily1619 They're still a very sad person. To be honest, if I had a child like troll to your heart, I would just abandon, no point in trying to fix spoiled milk
Honestly, she should lose custody of her own children and her children should be raised by a better person.
Nahh... Its much better for kids to grow up with parents like her...
I mean, when are we gonna get the next 21st century hitler? Right?
Unless the new home turnes out to be criminally abusive everyone would be better off in if that were to happen.
"Thank god I had another child! I had something to live for, so I chose not to kill myself or murder my other child."
._. Where is the police?
At least with her normal child she has a chance of a normal independent life.
@@LuisOrtiz-ey1bp You're a dumb ass.
@@LuisOrtiz-ey1bp Dumbass
how can calmly explaining a plan you thought of to kill your kid ever be taken out of context?
Leandro Aude I don't think that's the case here.
I'm wondering if this woman is going to end up like that case where a mom tried to drive her minivan into the ocean with her kids buckled up in the back and screaming for help. =\
She may have gotten a bit of understanding if she didn't calmly explain what she was contemplating and shoo away her daughter who was trying to hug her.
I expect to see this woman in the news someday. :(
@Leandro Aude The kid is in the bloody room! Do you tell your kid you wished to kill them? What are you a Southpark parent? As you sound like a parody.
"That would be preferable than having to put her in one of these schools"
Context is EVERYTHING
@Leandro Aude Well, has he ever publicly expressed plans to kill his child? There's a difference between being frustrated and being cruel. I don't know many parents who would comtemplate a murder-suicide but decided not to not because they love and accept their child but because of their normal child. She literally said that her autistic daughter's sister's life has more value than her autistic daughter's life.
No one is telling her that she's not allowed to be frustrated but she still is an awful parent. Especially if she really later does say that her daughter doesn't love her and her daughter then hugs her and says "I love you, Mommy!" and she tells her daughter to go away. Her demonizing and spreading lies about her own child, that's incredibly low.
All of the people defending this woman, stop. Her thoughts are not normal. These are the thoughts that abusers think. I'm autistic and my own parents have seen this and find it absolutely disgusting. "We've had hard times but that thought never once crossed my mind." These are the thoughts of someone who shouldn't be raising children.
Never crossed my mind with my son with autism.
All of the people defending this woman should not be allowed to have children. Period. I just got into a huge argument with some woman with an autistic daughter because apparently I need to "stop getting my knickers in a twist" about this wonderful and nice charity
I have a 10 yr old autistic, nonverbal son & I have never thought of our challenges being too difficult to bear. Every mother has tough times and gets overwhelmed, but to have murder suicide enter your thoughts is alarming, disturbing & if anyone hears a mother speak this thought & doesn't immediately get them help and remove them from their child would be doing an extremely dangerous, ignorant thing. Fatalistic, homicidal thoughts is depression, or another mental illness symptom and needs addressing immediately. It's absolutely not normal. Especially having a plan.... that is classic ideation and textbook case of needing hospitalization or/and treatment.
I will defend her. If u think this is disgusting then you don't know. There are different types of kids with autism. My brother is 27 with autism and throws such horrible tantrums, he is is capable of murdering someone...he has affected the physical, social, emotional and mental health of this family.
@@leannaramcharan5707 So you defend someone who contemplated killing her own daughter? Don't see what's there to defend, dude.
Imagine a man saying that he just wanted to put his wife in the car and drive off a bridge. People would go ape shit at how abusive and dangerous this is. Now consider that this woman is talking about a child and not an adult.
And why is this comparison necessary? Moron.
@@RPKD88 because people don’t see the disabled child as a person that matters
@@ryanweeks6118 no the original commentator is trying to make a comparison between the sexes to hint at a double standard. Which is stupid and unnecessary in this situation
@@RPKD88 ?
I'm confused, they're simply saying that people would be outraged in one case, but aren't generally outraged in the second case... at least not in the same way. It's a comparison between the two, not a statement about gender.
For sure
I feel bad for Wrong Planet.
He didn't make the video yet he got all of the dislikes it deserved.
Yeah I nearly disliked it and then realised it was someone else spreading awareness of how terrible it is.
They're shooting the messenger.
IKR. I noticed that and thought about whether that's the way they really felt or if they didn't know any better and were just angry.
Very true
I mean, he shouldve seen it coming
More importantly, she said it in front of her kid. When you are raising a child you don't get to just "say whatever you feel." If you say very disturbing things to your child that can be considered child abuse or at the least bad parenting. Jodie seems like a very loving child--how must it make her feel to hear that her mother considered suicide? (Obviously we don't know if Jodie does understand what is being said, but she might, and it's likely she can sense her family's attitudes.)
Agreed. The kid seemed to be functioning well enough that she is likely to develop the ability to understand speach if she didn't already, and to have a parent non jokingly talk about planning to kill you like that at such a young age can seriously mess you up if you understand what is being said.
of course she heard and understood this! we are spectruimish sure, but we arent deaf dumb blind or stupid. the mother only said that to play the poor trod upon mother damsel in distress while shaming the child she created and shunned because shes not typic. I WAS THAT CHILD.
@@terrimeakin-rosario9189bro the kid did not understand, did you see the documentary? That kid is a walking vegetable that screams
I’m autistic, but I was only diagnosed two years ago. Even so, I wonder how often my mom thinks of doing this to me.
@Leandro Aude Maybe she was "under extreme pressure" when she first had the idea of murdering her daughter. But that's no excuse for talking about her murder plan *in front of her daughter* in an interview some time later after she's had time to think it over.
That's so sad
@@possum1093 It’s alright. I was emotionally unregulated due to being without any support structure/resources for most of my life. Things are a lot better now that I have those resources and have moved out. My mom and I now have a very healthy relationship.
Mothers like her are the reason why we are so stigmatized. Hope that child is somewhere better. Where she is loved and appreciated.
You probably also think that college students should be allowed to learn chemistry too ..
@@turquoiseturquoiseturquois1174 what's that surrpose to mean?
Looking through these comments is an ableist minefield that clearly does NOT take the child's feeling into account. This child is an adult now, and she has to carry the burden of the knowledge that her mother said she wished death on her publicly. I'm autistic, and in a way that made it VERY hard to raise speaking that I had (and still have) intense meltdowns and a speech delay, but I'm still a human. I have emotions, and I am traumatized by the people who were meant to take care of me. Yet everyone is flocking to the defense of the mom and not considering the feelings this child has of being betrayed by the very person she looked up to for love and nurturing.
Sorry to intervene, but what do you mean with "everyone is flocking to the defense of the mom", when the vast majority of the comments here are *criticizing* the mom for what she said?
@@herobrinekingmaster yeah the majority are shocked and upset
I too, am lucky not to have been brutally executed by my own mother.
That poor little girl.
It made me sad earlier in the video when it shows that girl kissing her mom as her mom annoyedly says "she needs constant attention" and doesn't even look at her. I mean, if I had an autistic kid the only thing that would really devastate me would be if my kid didn't show affection or connect with me. It's hard for autistic kids to do that and I think it's terrible when people don't encourage them to.
I have autism. Do you? I have plenty of romantic nights out. By the way, most parents can't have "romantic nights out" and that has nothing to do with autism...
I do, romance is a struggle on my part but i'm doing my best.
Being my mother raised me without knowing I was autistic. She admit I had hard times with my condtion. But she could never imagine me not being near her.
Nor would she wish me to be ' 'normal' or to never have Autism. Because I am who i am. And I should always be that way
Did you ever get cured?
I mean I don't know. I wish I never had autism. It's not something I would be happy to live with. I never ever had a single friend, what's so good about this?
If a cure exists, I wouldn't hesitate to have it.
@@AngelSnowflakes I'm sorry about that but it depends on how you react with it.
I have few choice friends and I'm working with it.
Plus what do neurotypical people have that we don't have that makes you want to be normal
@Leandro Aude autistic people also have social skills, those skills are just not super compatible with Neurotypical social skills, I've found that talking to other autistic people is way easier.
“ALL CHILDREN DESERVE PARENTS BUT NOT ALL PARENTS DESERVE CHILDREN” wtf is wrong with this woman!?
You probably also think that college students should be allowed to learn chemistry too ..
No matter what shit my violent, angry, demanding, demand avoidant, full of teenage raging hormones my 14 year old son has put me through in all his years of life, not for a single moment have I ever thought or even contemplated killing my son or even sending him away. This is absolutely disgusting and that bitch doesn't even deserve any child!!!...
Donna I'm a bit late here but I have demand avoidance, so if you ever need any perspective on your son's side of things let me know! I know it's a pretty misunderstood and "rare" ASD.
@@cosmosisroseCan you please help me? My son is demand avoidant.
if you're not willing to roll the dice of possibly having an autistic or otherwise disabled kid, then you shouldn't have kids. i do not care. get over it. you brought them into this world and it is your moral obligation to raise them with love and respect, not this self-pitying, abusive narrative.
You probably also think that college students should be allowed to learn chemistry too .,,
Absolutely. And if you watch the whole thing the mother is also raising her non autistic daughter to be ableist and resent her older sister’s existence.
I hope Jodi has grown up, become successful and gone no contact with her family. Absolutely disgusting.
Some people shouldn't be parents. This woman disgusts me.
I hope that child is doing well all these years later.
It's bad enough that she's saying this stuff on record, and right in front of her child... But why is she also *smiling* while she says it?
She is fucked up
If my mom would've said this to me especially in front of my face like this one lady did, I would never want to see her again and would feel very betrayed and hurt.
Agreed, a child should never have to hear that
@@rose2887You probably also think that college students should be allowed to learn chemistry too
@@turquoiseturquoiseturquois1174 what????
@@turquoiseturquoiseturquois1174what the hell are you talking about?
I just really feel that she crossed the line when she said she contemplated murder.
she also contemplates these thoughts verbally IN FRONT OF HER DAUGHTER! Have I watched the same movie as everyone else? If my mom said that in front of me, I would save her the work and do it myself.
It's weird how people in the comments are really defending this awful woman 🤦🏿♂️
I don't care how bad it gets. You never talk about murdering your own kid. And really? She didn't do it just because she had a "normal" kid? WTF
Especially with the kids running around in the room while she’s saying it too! Disgraceful mom!
I am not autistic. It makes me sick that there are people like this that exist. That's like my mother or father saying that the only reason that they didn't kill me (I was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis at nine months old ) was because they had another normal child to take care of. My mother used to wake up every 4-6 hours to give me my medication. My mom barely got any sleep,. My father, mother, and older sister used to take turns carrying me because I couldn't walk. I feel so much sympathy for the disabled (I don't have mobility aids, but I was certified disabled at around 7-8 years old) children who grow up with parents like this.
This woman is sick...sick in the head. Just process that
She wanted to kill her and her daughter because shes autistic, but she didn't contemplate it because of her "normal" daughter. What a sociopathic heartless
Not all sociopaths think this way and not all of them are evil. Don't armchair diagnose someone just because they are abusive, because you're not a professional. Only professionals can confirm whether someone's a sociopath or not.
@@cof... sociopath is not a diagnosis
Thank you for uploading this clip so I can show my NT friends why this organization is so bad
I tried doing that but it upsets them because people who have autistic children understand autism better then adults on the spectrum
That woman shouldn't be allowed to be alone in the same room as a kid, any kid.
You probably also think that college students should be allowed to learn chemistry too ..
@@turquoiseturquoiseturquois1174 Yes I think definitely think that college students should learn chemistry, I don't know why you would specifically list that though.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS?
Next time my mother asks why I hate Autism Speaks, I will send her this clip. She loves my brothers and I (all three of us being on the spectrum), but she only sees Autism Speaks as some great organization that wants to help people on the spectrum and their families. However, as we know, it’s far from the truth. They pathologize and degrade people on the autism spectrum, fear-mongering in hopes of getting funding to find a “cure” to us.
Actually, I saw the video, and noticed how they all say their kids will go nowhere in life. I noticed how she also said she thought about doing that. I hated the movie, and quite obviously enough, no comments possible, no rating.Those kids have future, if they have the proper therapies and all. They understand what you say! They just can't communicate back!
I.... I can't. ... Just, wow. I already know autism speaks is an awful organization but I never thought they would sink _that_ low. I honestly feel terrified after watching that 😨
I'm going to ignore the fact that you just insulted my mother and also ignore the fact that you purport to be able to read the mind of someone you've never met.
With that said, please explain how having a severely autistic kid gives someone the legal right to assault your child.
That poor child, she's all I can think about. For the people defending this woman, *look* at her. Look at how she smiles smugly as she talks about wanting to MURDER her child, look at her lips moving to form LIES that her child does not love her, only for the child's actions to shut them down. Look at her eyes, and realize that this is not a parent who has hit rock bottom, but a psychopath talking out of only her brain. That child deserves better, and I just hope she gets it.
Later in the movie, we see this same mother trying to teach her daughter how to say "I love you."
better idea, lady; how about you try saying it yourself and *meaning it*, you unimaginable cow...!
Jodie looks dejected when she walks out of the room.
Well yeah her mother talked about murdering her, and said the only reason she didn't was because of her sibling. That's fucked up.
No wonder she doesn't say that.
Maybe she knows it already, she just can't bring herself to say it to the soccer mom sociopath she had the misfortune of coming out of
The mother displayed lack of empathy, openness, and adaptability. Also, All humans have things they can't do, and are technically disabled because of that fact.
But most can catch on social situations and adapt with the rate of they're peers...
Honestly, Either autism be cured or make it possible to euthanize a child if shown symptoms of autism
.. how tf can she calmly say she almost killed her child and self? She shows no remorse at all! I have been raising my autistic nephew cor the past almost 11 years and I choke up with fear and anxiety just imagining him leaving while I'm asleep. Never in a billion years would I EVER think about ending his precious life. She doesn't deserve to have children IMO. She is such a vile and weak person..
This is vile and horrifying
No, take your self out first. This child did not ask to be born or have Autism.
I'm so lucky to have my mom to help me....
why can there never be any actual sincere people actually wanting to do something good.
trust me, there are ❤️
there are some. but yeah there’s a lot of shitty people too.
this is the problem with neurotypicals. . . and aspies and the like get flack for normal people's "craziness".
@btamamura Everyone will have a mental illness some point of their life so your cannot just say neurotypical. Neurotypical was created by the autism community. Don't bring mental illness into this. If you think mentally ill people are not neurotypical then this woman isn't neurotypical because no mother in their right mind we say this about their child.
Btamamura I am autistic and yes I do prefer neurotypical over normal person I would also rather people like you stop saying we as in the autistic community would stop saying we have problems when we don’t
@Leandro Aude and you display the traits of one quite well.
@Leandro Aude cry about it
@Leandro Aude so I’m not a normal person? Smooth
as a functioning adult with autism do not support autism speaks. they are trying to end autism by “ finding a cure “ by all means go ahead but actually help people with autism
I can't believe anyone could even think about hurting there child like that, especially a child with autism. That felt like I was being stabbed in the heart to be honest.
I saw the whole thing and I get the feeling these parents want to go to Santa and exchange their kids for other kids. Also... the moms are in constant focus. Same personality type that turns Munchausen by proxy.
I get the feeling that my mother would've said that if she still lived with me. She had bipolar-like symptoms, she was a liar, an alcoholic, and was abusive. She up and left when I was about five years old because she couldn't take raising four kids that she wanted in the first place.
I’m so sorry
"bipolar-like symptoms"
Being a liar, abusive, and alcoholic aren't bipolar symptoms. Please don't stigmatize any mental disorder. Imagine saying "she had autism-like symptoms and was a liar, an alcoholic, and she was abusive". It doesn't make sense and it spreads stigma and misinformation about a mental disorder that'll make people assume that people with that disorder are naturally and automatically abusive, when really they're suffering and are often abused themselves.
@@cof... Sorry. I didn't mean to give that impression. I know that bipolar disorder doesn't make someone as messed up as my mother was. Again, I'm sorry.
Sucks to be you LOL
@@cof...
I think the bipolar symptoms and the rest are separated. I don’t think they were saying bipolar symptoms are being a liar and an abuser.
My eldest daughter is autistic (moderate autism is what was diagnosed), my youngest son is under referral and I wouldn't change them for the world, yes it's hard, yes there have been times that I could have driven Myself of a bridge due to mental and physical exhaustion but never has it ever crossed my mind to hurt one of my babies.
Autism is hard on us parents but it's even harder on the children who have autism. My children all light up my day, they All have beautiful, nutty, quirky personalities and that goes for my autistic ones and my nurotypical ones ❤️💗❤️
OK, the problem here is not that the mother is tired and have had these thoughts, not even that she talks about them, BUT THAT SHE TALKS ABOUT THEM WHEN THE KID CAN HEAR HER.
what's even more disturbing is that she's not showing any remorse or sadness about what she said
I don't understand how anyone's mind could ever become so contorted and hateful that they would ever see this mother as the victim in this situation... she's literally talking about murdering another human being, who is also a literal child and her daughter. What the fuck?! I'm disgusted. I can't believe people like this exist and are accepted. This is so hateful, I could go on all day. Just what the fuck man. This world is messed up. Ew.
Intrusive thoughts. I'm not defending her obviously because she said that she was going to do it and prioritized her other child. But saying that you don't get how her mind controlled her to think of it is a problem. So many people suffer with them on a daily basis from OCD or just unnecessary things popping in their minds.
@@rose2887I mean ya intrusive thoughts are awful, heck they can get bad, but no matter how many intrusive thoughts I have I would never announce them to my children if its about killing them or even so much as involves them
@@Riley.-sJoy I agree, that's awful and she shouldn't have kids, I agree with that. I'm just not comfortable with the idea that you're a bad person if you even have those thoughts at all.
@@rose2887 I mean yeah intrusive thoughs but she talked about her intrusive thoughts in front of her child and believe or not when you get an intrusive thought you can stop thinking about it that's the great the about the human brain
@@possum1093 Lol I recommend you do some research on intrusive thoughts. Most people who suffer from them can't just make them go away. That's not how mental illness works. And I don't understand why I keep having to explain this. She's a bad person, I'm not denying that. You NEVER tell your child such a cruel thing. It's the idea that someone simply having those thoughts makes them evil that I disagree with. If you want to learn more you could study OCD, of course other people suffer with intrusive thoughts as well but it's very common within that mental illness. You can't just stop having bad thoughts.
I have adhd and in the process of being diagnosed as autistic at 18. My mom says i was a quite easy child to care for. Like i was a pretty temperamental kid and had very low frustration tolerance and had obsessive interests likr always collecting something and knowing everything about my areas of interest not to mention mimicking the characters i was into(not just normal pretend i’d become those characters still lowkey do it) and was a very picky eater and had a hard time making friends bcuz i was boastful and needed always to have my way and came across as arrogant and awkward but at the same time didn’t need much attention and much cuddling and stuff i was content being by myself and i was the best student in my class and knew things beyond my age and wouldn’t get into drama and conflicts if i wasn’t provocked
My mother tried to beat the autism out of me, and she would constantly tell me about how mothers would often murder their autistic children, and how much she understood the desire to do so and how justified such a thing would be. Gee, thanks for that mom.
Violet Valentine im sorry about that
Violet Valentine the fuck is wrong with your mom? You need to move out, RIGHT NOW!!!
Depending on how bad the autism is, it really mentally destroys the parents. My mom got a nervous breakdown once because of my brother.
you guys should like the video instead of disliking so the truth actually gets out. even if you don’t like what she says, its not a reflection of this channel’s views at all, in fact quite the opposite
It's nothing against the uploader, it's against the woman.
I’m an aspie, at least I think so, because the doctor said it was hard to diagnose me. I had a nightmare one time, and without knowing it, it was reality. I was at a therapy, and I tried to speak, but they shut me up saying that every word i say was invalid due to my autism. They try to send me to a re-education camp, and I run away to my grandma’s. The dream ended with a weird sound strangely.
At least I think so LOL
THIS IS SO GROSS!
It’s normal to have intrusive thoughts, but her saying that the only reason she didn’t do it was because of her other daughter is questionable. 1. That brings the idea that if she didn’t have another daughter she wouldn’t do it. 2. It shows that she doesn’t love her daughter with autism. I hope this family got/will get help because this is just sad.
And we’re the ones who are supposed to lack empathy right? The only people I’ve actually known who lack empathy are neurotypical people. This girl probably loves her mom unconditionally but that’s apparently not reciprocated.
I have empathy, this sweaty fart doesn't. GROSS
Could anybody be more horrible? How selfish can you be to even think those things about your own child?
If any parent thinks like this, that’s probably a sign that they shouldn’t have a child, period.
What she needs is understanding and help, she is clearly feeling exhausted and helpless. The point is that she should be saying this to a psychologist, not to a tv show and in front of her daughter.
This
What she needs is to have her kids taken away from her.
The TV show was a group that pretends to advocate for autistics.
They should have never given her a platform. They should have existed to begin with. Autism speaks is a hate group that pushes abuse towards autistics.

Very true!
Thank you. One lone rational comment in a sea of moral outrage.
I have two kids both are on the spectrum and one is blind as well on our worst days murder has not once crossed my mind. They even hired this lady!
I found this video from looking at an article to learn why Autism Speaks is such a bad organization. This...makes me so fucking sick to my stomach, honestly. I wish someone would take both of her children away from her so they could go to much better families than this pathetic excuse of a "mother". They said she said this in an article and I'm like, "surely this isn't what she actually said, and they're just saying what she implied?". Holy fucking shit....
Her child literally can understand everything she’s saying
You probably also think that college students should be allowed to learn chemistry too .,..
So, am i the only one who wonder where is the kid now? Is she safe? Or did the mother actually kill her? Please, tell me is the former, i want to know.
Yes, autism causes a LOT of struggles. But it also gives a lot of strengths. It's not horrible, it's only different. But Autism Speaks will never understand that.
Child Protective Services!!! WHERE ARE YOU???
I am autistic, and I am absolutely shook. Wow, that is not. OK. That is horrible. That is abusive. I’m speechless.
Mom: I’ve thought about killing myself because I have an Autistic child. But I didn’t because I have a normal child. Am I a bad mother?
Autism Speaks: Of course no-
Me: Yes. YES YES YES YES SO MUCH YES YES YES YES YES CI OUI DA YUMI YES YES YES.
Yes. It does.
don't forget the point was killing the autistic child, it's a "taking you with me" situation

That does make it a lot worse yes.
It's not a green screen, in the first few seconds, you can see the daughter leaning on her arm.
i know what intrusive thoughts are, and i have them too- but like honey... no...
Yeah, and sereveral people have left comments here saying that "She's not talking about killing her daughter, she's saying how much she cared for her!" They obviously need to watch the video again!
Civel,my daughter has autism but she is a screamer and a biter, she has meltdowns and cant handle change but unlike alot of parents,I aim to understand her and keep her loved and calmed, the world make me and my lil family feel isolated enough so I wake up everyday to pray for her and love and protect her, thats all I can do and I dont want it any other way,,I dream of her being able to write on a blog like you some day
What unlucky children to have a mother like that!
My mother had post-natal depression when she had me but she was going through a rough pregnancy and she previously had a miscarriage. But she never used to express that in front of me, not until I was much older and more aware of post-natal depression and she only told me once. Alison Tepper is NOT brave. My mother has gone through so much shit in her life and nobody has given her any sympathy but I'm expected to mourn for a woman who has so much support, love and care? No friggin way!
Yes living with someone who has autism can be difficult. But that is no excuse to contemplate killing them. There's many disorders that are hard to live with. But their lives matter too. Do you think it's easy for my partner to handle my meltdowns caused by my bpd and ptsd? No. It's not always easy handling his caused by his autism. But I would never think of ways to hurt him because I'm frustrated. I help him. If someone said that to me I'd call social services. You should not be contemplating killing your children. If you are you need to check yourself into a psych ward.
Jeez, the dislikes... did the Autism speaks hategroup come out in force to dislike this video or something? It is true, Autism speaks is a hategroup. There is NOTHING wrong with Autistic people, their brains just work different/different layout. For every hardship, some things come easier. I mean you don't murder your child for the Terrible Twos either (all kids have hard moments, parenting isn't easy!). We seriously need to get adults on the spectrum involved with education/information regarding these things.. before we doze up kids to the eyeballs on drugs to make them "normal!" or put them away in institutions.
Sorry this just pressed my buttons, I'm glad my mother and father were not influenced by crap like Autism speaks!
it might be because people dislike the things being said and not the fact that its against autism speaks. or at least i really hope so.
@@technodragon990 I hope so as well, but I'm a bit worried sometimes how the Antivax movement is gaining ground and their ties to the autism hate groups. Heck, they use autism as a "scare tactic" for vaccines and do things like "bleach enemas" to cure it.
So I hope you are right as well... just I've gotten a bit jaded over the years.
Terrible parents it’s not the child’s fault
@jazcor But you do not say that, OUT LOUD, IN FRONT OF THE CHILD IN QUESTION.
This is so sad! She is like: "Oh, my daughter don't care about anything. She doesn't know about anything I do or say. She's not a human. So it's ok if she's dead." But the girl isn't deaf, she's hearing every word, and she doesn't demonstrate it but she understand every word. 😢😭😓
As an autistic person who was once a little autistic child, this video makes me feel physically sick. My mother was like this- she was abusive. Why would someone want to kill their own child? Maybe it’s not her child that “needs help” or “a cure” maybe it’s the mother that needs to see a medical professional for the sake of her mental health and the safety of her child.
I have autism and my mom told me that she should have aborted me & she tried to stab me once.
...oh my....
You deserve a much better mom 🙁
From all the feedback about this documentary, I have no desire to watch it. I love my daughter with all my heart and have never once thought of killing her or abandoning her. We take it day by day and the more I learn about who she is the more I love her. She's only two and a half. I look forward to watching her blossom into the best person she can be.
Have this mom lose custody immediately!
jesus fucking CHRIST who the HELL made this. Autism Speaks? isn't that supposed to be an organisation to HELP people with autism? seems more like a hate film to me. that organisation isn't trustworthy.
They're an organization to help the victims of autism, i.e. self-pitying parents that think their kid doesn't have emotions because she can't mask well.
my brother has autism and i love him more than anything this is just wrong and who would even say that
unfriendly reminder to not support A$ and instead support ASAN or AWN
Sure, all people have ugly thoughts. Most people do not verbally express plans to kill another person. This mother did, in front of the person she had thought about killing. Doing such a thing is a crime.
"Assault is defined as "unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to a person, coupled with an apparent ability to do so."
And threat, in this context, refers to any verbal declaration which causes the victim to feel threatened.
wow, this is her: "Alison Singer is an autism advocate and the president of the Autism Science Foundation (ASF). She has also served on the IACC.[2] She was formerly an executive vice president of Autism Speaks and as a vice president at NBC." maybe you should edit your caption to note that she actually works with ASD folks, how is this even legal that she's out walking around? is there a way that she can be sued? fuck
Our society is often fickle, constantly cruel, and asinine in general. Do not let it come between you and your loved ones
I have a DVD of Autism Everyday. I received it when I was on The View as part of their panel of "autism experts."
Am I reading this correctly? You think that people should "like" that a mother wants to kill her child? Please tell me you don't seriously believe this...
Jodie is probably a young adult by now, and I hope she doesn’t/hasn’t seen this. I can’t image how mortified she’d be to hear that her own mother wanted to kill her… absolutely disgusting.
The whole tone of this "documentary" is completely f'd up and beyond wrong. It's basically focusing on how hard life is for parents on autistic kids in this light of 'there's no way out and our kids are ruining our lives and the lives of their siblings."
As a parent to a wonderful autistic child, I'm so utterly disgusted by this clip and the rest of the clips I've seen of this "film." Autistic people aren't broken. The only reason it can be so hard to be a parent to a disabled person is because society isn't built to support us!!
She later apologized for these remarks, but an apology is not enough for a casual disregard for the sanctity of human life.
Absolutely correct, what she said was messed up, I would never say anything like that about an autistic child LET ALONE MY OWN DAUGHTER!
The video was uploaded 15 years ago, so the child is more than old enough to understand the seriousness of what her mother said. I can only imagine the trauma this caused her, and if her mother publicly admits to homicidal fantasies about her, there’s 100% other abuse going on.
