Mili,I read quickly Autmoose2 about little Mike, that is the technique used in the old times and some old caregivers used to use, even with the adults, that was obliterated with the push for them to "normalize" at their "command" or be sedated if non-compliant.

AND, as Keg said "for the safety of the autistic and staff", so they were told to follow protocol or they were out. Now they are guarded by totally untrained people, sedated 16 to 20 hours a day and the government told they are doing "great", when inspected they get more staff, extra clean the premises, don't give so much drugs and taken out.
