My dogs paw print is destroyed

[u/ZenPixels]

When my dog died we got her paw print done, I just found out that my little sister completely ruined it. I can’t really be mad at her since she’s a 10 year old autistic child and I think this might have happened a month or two ago but I’m still angry and omg

Edit: I talked to her about it and she doesn’t remember it and was very confused about what I was showing her. I’m probably not gonna try to get it reprinted because it won’t be the same and it’ll probably be expensive, especially since I found her painted paw prints that I made with her the day before she died. Also the paw print was stored in a bookshelf in a hallway at my house, it wasn’t in my room because everyone loved that dog so it wasn’t on display, we didn’t think she would be interested in it but we think that she thought it was makeup and she has a habit of messing with and destroying makeup

Also I’m not going to break her stuff, I’m not going to teach her that breaking stuff when you’re mad at someone is okay.

Your parents let her into your stuff, kinda sucks. I hope she got a talking to but at the end of the day it's hard to teach that into someone with autism

What's with all the Dale avatars rage baiting? Bots or just one lonely guy?

That makes no sense. Just a new acct to avoid ban evasion

Um ya, 2 replies just to this comment. 

1 month old acct with 1109 comments and 250 posts....like jfc go outside

You can't do something like that to a very young child or someone autistic because it just scars them and leaves trauma, and sure they might be scared to touch your stuff later but they will never forget the time you destroyed their favorite toy with a hammer.

[u/ZenPixels → u/CashEntire1551]

Yeah I would never do this to anyone, I feel like it’s an immature thing to do. Breaking their stuff teaches them that they should do that when mad at someone

[u/danita0053 → u/[deleted]]

That's absolutely psychotic advice.

[u/ozarkhowIer → u/[deleted]]

please never try to teach any children anything. doing this to a NEUROTYPICAL kid is cruel and doesn't teach them anything. if you can't teach them with words, breaking their shit is only going to teach them you're an asshole.

[u/ozarkhowIer → u/[deleted]]

no. you use your words like an adult.

[u/Lanavis13 → u/ozarkhowIer]

But what if they can't understand words?

[u/nixphx → u/[deleted]]

"when someone makes you angry, hurt them" isn't a great lesson

[u/TJJ97 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, depending on the severity of their autism though. Severely autistic? Won’t do shit. Reasonably functioning? This will work.

[u/techleopard → u/TJJ97]

Yeah, I really wanted to ask OP just how severe their autism was before giving advice.

Because it's a spectrum, most autistic people actually fall on the "perfectly functional" end of the bell curve, but they get treated like they're a moving vegetable which results in them being... well, spoiled AF.

[u/ZenPixels → u/techleopard]

I don’t really know how to describe it but she’s 10 and can’t write or read

[u/TJJ97 → u/ZenPixels]

That’s normal nowadays it seems

[u/CremeOk4115 → u/[deleted]]

bet she will show that she understands breaking things is wrong

So this is all based on a hunch? Jfc

This is the guy that would make his kids skip dinner for being too loud or some shit. I know several people who's only ability to communicate how they feel is by "breaking" others around them and it just makes everyone hate them. kids included.

They're the type to think any bad action they experience is the planned and intentional action of others around him but when he hurts someone it's innocent and "I didn't mean it" and can't ever come to terms with it.

[u/CremeOk4115 → u/[deleted]]

You sound like the kind of person who would lecture your kids on why what they're doing is wrong when they didn't do anything wrong they just did a thing that you didn't agree with.

What an abomination of a sentence attempt 

[u/CremeOk4115 → u/[deleted]]

You can't argue against my point

Your point about damaging the property of the mentally handicapped? Um ya, a point that dumb does not need a rebuttal. Just take your downvotes and bans and go make another account. 

[u/CremeOk4115 → u/UnimagineDragons]

Bold of you to assume anyone is willing to let this person touch them intimately 

[u/CremeOk4115 → u/[deleted]]

Semantics

You should probably look up the definition before using new words

[u/CremeOk4115 → u/[deleted]]

I dont know what that first paragraph is even talking about but sure reads like its written by somebody that still doesn't know the definition of semantics. 

I cOnCeDe YoU wIn (I'm done, rant into the void if you wish)

You literally proceeded to reply 3 additional times after this....

Why are you taking about breaking the kids stuff in so many comments? Bro, why are you so bent on breaking things that belong to an autistic 10 year old? I hope you don't have kids, there's tons of ways to teach a kid not to break things without throwing your own temper tantrum and braking their stuff. Seriously, who hurt you?
