As an autistic person who works with autistic youth, I have to say, I agree with you. I don't think people, including the above couple, understand what autism can be. It's a spectrum, it can be a wide variety care needed, and I don't think the Stauffers were aware of the autism when they adopted-or they thought they could handle it. When children are sent to a different family, it's not because the parent's don't want them, it's usually a court order that determines if the household is fit for that child. If Huxley had special needs, and the Stauffers aren't capable of meeting them, he may have been moved to a family that does have the skills to support him. Rehoming is done for the benefit of the child, not the parents. Yes, in cases like mine, autism is a problem that needs a few accommodations. But I've seen cases of autism for example as follow: One very bright (and wonderful) child who was very disabled due to his autism, violently attacked his family to the point where he strangled his mother and she has to be hospitalized. His family was still very supportive, and had to get help in the home to keep them safe.I've seen kids who need 18 hour care, in-home to help them stay safe and get therapy they needed.I personally, don't blame this mother. I've seen many wonderful children, who had needs their parent's were not prepared for, and needs I wouldn't be prepared for without the team I had at the time.The people here committing on how terrible these people are, probably have never had any experience with a kid with needs like Huxley. And no, having autism doesn't mean you have the same experience as Huxley. AUTISM IS A SPECTRUM. Many autistics are never violent, while others are, many just need some extra support, others need 24 hour care, many like me are able to live independently with jobs, many others are not. Meeting someone, or even being someone with autism does not mean you understand the level of care Huxley needed. We all love to Mom-shame here, but I don't think anyone passing judgement knows what it's like to care for a kid that disabled. Rehoming is for the interest of the child, not the family. Huxley was most likely removed for his own good, and the family knew they were in over the heads because they couldn't give him the care he is entitled to.
