I work 1:1 with disabled kids, and with a 12 year old spontaneously violent boy, I’m deemed perfectly able to put up with being pushed or hit with patience and grace, but with a predictably and avoidably violent 7 year old girl, I need to let the adults take her. He’s met with “Hands to ourselves!”, whereas she’s isolated off. She will literally only rabbit-slap or attempt to push you when distressed, whereas all of his 1:1 workers are routinely bruised. But people insist that intellectually disabled boys are always punished unfairly due to unwarranted fear
