(14,337 posts)17. "having a BEHAVIOR"
We used that too but it was longer to say, going off was easer to say. When we radioed the ABS, you do know who that is, we did use these code terms, because it was faster and easier to saying. We were going to get on the radio and say Joey is doing throwing a table, screaming, and destroying the room? No, it was we needed intervention fast, or we wouldn't BE on the radio at all.
Am I giving out some "secrets" here? You never heard of this????? Oh, it wasn't just PARAS who said and did this, teachers did also. Whoever got out their radio faster.
Sorry, if you think this is horrific. I suggest you watch the Willowbrook or one of the others, to see what IS bad. I was required to watch those for in service year after year.

More crap about this story. F*ck those who somehow try to link autism and this tragedy.

You missed my point. Went off seems like a description that characterizes the behavior

Biting the nearest person or tossing a table is not the same as shooting your mother,

An excellent point. Not to mention that it isn't possible to shoot dozens of people within minutes
