In the aftermath of the death of her son, an Australian mother stressed just how important it can be to ensure an autistic child is sufficiently monitored during their playtime. Jazmine Spence, 35, is finally comfortable opening up about a double tragedy that happened in 2023 when her autistic son went missing from daycare, then two days later, in an unrelated incident, the child drowned.
There was already a recent story about a mother who was so overwhelmed by her autistic child harming themselves that she lost her temper and actually killed him. The inexcusable situation highlighted just how stressed parents are by the demanding nature of raising a child who has such special needs. Perhaps that’s why they end up being tempted by politicians offering silver bullets that can cure the situation without much hassle — some parents even reportedly willing to try bleach as a cure for autism.
