Dachel Wake Up: A "Vaccination" All Can Agree was Horrible As Nurse Tortures Boy with Hypodermic
"What will happen to adult children with autism?" let me just say...horrible things. They're happening already. See my post from earlier this week with news reports.
July 26, 2016, NBC CT: NJ Nurse Repeatedly Stabs Boy With Autism With Needle: AG
The nurse is also accused of bending the 10-year-old's finger back, stepping on his bare foot and causing him to fall
New Jersey officials say a nurse caught on videotape stabbing a boy with autism with a hypodermic needle to control his behavior has agreed to surrender her license during the investigation.
Acting Attorney General Christopher Porrino made the announcement Monday.
Porrino tells the state Board of Nursing that Naomi Derrick stabbed the boy with the needle six times in the knees, leg and arm on May 15. He says the actions were witnessed by employees at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City.
"A developmentally disabled child, confined to a psychiatric ward under the supervision of nurses, is as vulnerable a patient as you can find," said Porrino. "Instead of caring for this boy and protecting him from harm, as was her duty, Naomi Derrick allegedly used her position of authority to bully and assault him. There is no place in the health care profession for this kind of barbaric behavior."
July 27 I had the piece, What will happen to adult children with autism? on Age of Autism.
I also answered that question: "Let me just say...horrible things. They're happening already." I gave a numbers of scary examples of the serious challenges and risks adults with ASD will be facing. This story from NBC CT is more proof. If a defenseless, severely challenged 10-year-old is subjected to this kind of abuse, image what could happen to him in adult residential care?
We're seeing the new American underclass: disabled children and young adults.
Anne Dachel is Media Editor for Age of Autism.
Gayle, I agree with you so much! We need cure-focused research!

How is it possible that this woman wasn't arrested?
If she gave the same treatment to a member of Congress' child, would she have been arrested?

I agree with Hans -- this was assault, and she should be in jail.

My son is one of those adults with 'autism'... He is 25, vaccine damaged multiple times between 1991 and 1994. The MMR pushed him into 'autism' at 18 months. Today, he has no speech, tic disorder, severe OCD, prompt dependent, no academic skills, severely impaired receptive language, limited personal care skills, must be supervised 24/7 for his own safety, flight risk...the list goes on... But, to look at him, you would never know...that he has this disability. He was kicked out of his day program for spitting into trash cans and slamming doors nearly a year ago.... Once they age out of the school system no one, except family, has to take responsibility for them. The 'programs' can pick and choose who they accept and of course they tend to choose the higher functioning adults, after all, they are 'less work'....therefore, cost less to provide for, how well I know this to be true. So, where does this leave people like my son? At home with mom, til mom dies... Then what??? My greatest fear. I pray about this and trust God to stay by his side and put the right people in his life...

I have an adult son with autism and every time I read one of these stories I get SICK. I am terrified of what the future will be like for my son when I am no longer alive to protect him from these types of predators. I pray for our children every day that a CURE might be found for the neuroimmune damage that was caused by vaccines. We need research and we need it now and not in 20 years. Save our children.
