I'm really struggling to get my head around how a company/ man who supposedly "helps" children with autism
(And I can't work out how and what he does there) was so incredibly nasty to parents of children with autism who questioned his expertise.
To do 1:1's in schools you really do have to have a high level of professional knowledge in a particular area. It's really unusual because it's 1. Costly and 2. Has to be very targeted. Usually physiotherapy, speech and language support, occupational therapy, drawing and talking etc. often in my experience the therapist isn't on their own, sometimes a pair, part of a team.
You also work with parents and gain consent.
How was this individual given green lights by head teachers? where would this would fit into IEPs and ECHPs? what was the cost benefit is? I've never seen a sports car being part of an IEP.
I couldn't read his response to these parents in 2020 posted on the company page so I c+p into notes:
//////////
"Ok listen § everyone please (decided to close Awesometistic) due to horrible two ladies sad thing is these have autistic children.
Yer right am deffently not closing at all.
Two ladies (horrible jealous people, personal this and if you k ow me really then you know I won't let this lye. ) tired to stop me doing what I do today coming into stores where I book signing telling them I don't have autism and giving them a letter to try and stop be helping children.
Thankful the stores seen through these horrible people with not this letter it would say that how can I be autistic now when I wasn't for the last 34 years.
By the way the police have been
called and cctv is coming. Well guess what ladies you can't stop me Cos am awesome and you perhaps should by my book. Might learn a few things. Also it stated
that autism is not ok.
This was very upsetting to be confronted with but guess what it's had no impact what so ever Cos I had a awesome day as always and also thank you for making me stronger Cos this is why I am doing what I do. If anyone Elsa received anything from these two ladies one with glasses on. There are 2500 people on my page that will
surely have a few words to say to you. Very upset and heart broken. But only 0.01% of my 2567 people who love and support me.
This is why I carry my Diagnosi around every day.
Will make a good book tho "

"If you know me really you know I won't let this lye"
Police and cctv
Looking at the date (feb 2020) it seems likely that went completely under the radar due to the pandemic. Not an excuse.
Then, as twitter does, a faintly negative comment about the company/ man pops up on twitter, using his own images, and bingo - police email.
And he's "trained" the police.
