Not once have you answered the question. You just keep talking about your education and proving my point. You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about and refuse to admit it.

I learned about many psychological disorders as well. As in, they’re mentioned in a single chapter on maybe a page or two. That’s your knowledge of autism. You’re talking to someone who has generations of family with autism, so aside from my degree, which taught me nothing about it, I have decades of experience you can’t learn in school. In addition, I’ve worked closely with people who only work with children with autism (like my NV child) and I’ve had to study the subject at length in private. Also, I am autistic. So please keep lecturing me about your education when I’m trying to ask you

For the THIRD time: where is the science that says vocal stereotypy is harmful? It’s nowhere, because it isn’t. It essentially means to babble. So you’re saying babbling is worse than physical harm. So again, please explain why you think chatter is worse than physical violence. I’ve got your credentials. Back up your “sCiEnCe”

Funny! I’m two classes short of that exact degree, and autism has not been discussed. Is that in abnormal psych? Let me know.

In fact, to work in a medical manner with autistic children requires a master’s degree. Even then, short of a brilliant neuropsychologist I work with, none of them really understand autism aside from its basic ideas, which you don’t even seem to grasp since you think vocal outbursts are always considered maladaptive behavior. To anyone like me who knows what they’re talking about, you sound ridiculous.

Please continue. I’m really entertained now. I want to hear about how this child’s vocal stereotypy is more dangerous than his physical harm of others. That makes no sense and they don’t relate to the other aside from motivation, at best. But I’m happy to hear what you have to say.

As an autistic person, it’s actually not odd at all. Most people are used to seeing “Asperger’s” type autism so they don’t realize. It’s called vocal stereotypy or vocal stimming. Some people hum, some people yell, etc, like my nonverbal autistic child.

I don’t know this situation, but I do know that I won’t ever stop my kid from making vocal noises just because people look at them oddly. If they’re disturbing others to the point of being a nuisance, we leave. However, I will never train my child to stop stimming. It’s necessary for our emotional regulation, which I know from experience. I just happen to stim physically instead of vocally. So long as they’re not purposely being a nuisance, it’s absolutely acceptable. Sometimes it’s not a choice.
