i am a camp counselor and was put in charge of a severely autistic first grader for two weeks. He didn't know his name or anything, couldn't talk and ate EVERYTHING that was green.
He would eat grass, leaves, pine needles, etc (its a completely outdoor camp)
I have never dealt with retarded children so I had no clue what to do, and he would scream and cry randomly, then hit himself or bite himself and shit. Also, he wasn't pottytrained so he would like piss himself occasionally and I would also have to change him.
I made $75 a week at this camp.
Worst job I have ever had. Except I got to chill with this other good looking girl while I let my kid run wild at the playground.
