In a follow up that should surprise no one, the autistic boy in this story is highly traumatized by what happened.

Anyone familiar with working with people with ASD would recognize that they lack the theory of mind required to put traumatic events like this into any sort of context that they can deal with.

What a poo poo thing to happen, this is going to have sincere and profound impact on this man's development

This is going to impact anyone to have someone who cares for you shot in front of you and left to bleed, especially if he's your handler

I phrased my post poorly. People on her spectrum experience these sorts of events differently in ways that wind up being much more treatment resistant and resistant to change

But you're right, it'd be a really awful thing to happen to anyone
