AIBU to find videos of autistic meltdowns on fb distressing and wrong

[Frenchtoastie]

Seriously considering deleting Facebook as I can’t get away from this content.
does anyone else find it distressing that mothers are FILMING AND POSTING their children suffering? For attention and comments? It makes me feel physically sick

I've never put DS on social media, I would never have dreamed of putting his meltdowns on there.

I have two autistic children, both smear when they get the chance. Never would I photograph it or video it, the thought would never cross my mind. I deal with meltdowns daily, again why would I think to film it?

I am autistic also and if my mother ever filmed me having a meltdown and uploaded it for anyone and everyone to see I don’t think we’d be particularly close now!

No child should be filmed and put on SM whether they are SEN or not.
