My significant other Is a BCBA she's been working in the field for over 30 years . She worked with Dr Lovaas at the beginning. She's had articles written about her in the NY times and many other publications. Being around wrestling and coaching forever I enjoy helping people. Many autistic boys need male therapists because the dads are usually hands off or not sure how to handle it. The work is so rewarding and will put a smile on your face daily.

I realize this isn't the same thing for many reasons: while in HS, I volunteered a few times at the Selinsgrove Center. It's a residence for those with severe mental/emotional/intellectual disabilities, too severe for the families to care for them. Some wore helmets at all times for their own protection. That was difficult, and I only was there for 1-2 hrs at a time, a few times.

That's an extreme case, but point being: some people need help in ways that we can't comprehend without seeing first-hand. And even for less severe instances, not everybody can provide that help. The world is a better place for those who can and do.

It's takes a special person to volunteer like you did. You sir are good people in my book and we need more people like you

After being a tradesman I wanted to do something and her friend needed help with an autistic boy who was challenging so she trained me and I started helping. It's been years now and I enjoy it and it's very rewarding. I wish i did it my whole life actually

The best time to start is when the opportunity presents itself.

One other difficult volunteer job I did, challenging for an entirely different reason: PA Special Olympics state games. On the field is easy. I was the idiot who said I'll do whatever you need, and got assigned to the dorms on move-in day. Trying to keep the male and female athletes apart was, well ... Special Olympics has all of the raging hormones of the Olympics, but without the impulse control or communications skills.

Thanks for sharing. You definitely understand the struggles and I appreciate parents like you who are involved and work as a unit. Non-verbal cases are difficult and challenging with most having increased behaviors from the frustrations of not being able to communicate. Do they use devices to communicate? I know we don't know each other but if you ever need to talk with someone or need a 2nd opinion about something feel free to reach out. Her life is autism 24/7.

Thanks. My younger boy is higher functioning and can text or use a letter board. My older boy is all about the letter board. It’s just a plastic rectangle with letters cut out and he’ll quickly point out words on it. He’s really quick with it and i can be his predictive language tool usually once he starts a word or 2 - we’ve all developed a form of esp - the boys particularly.

And I saw a bunch of absolutely enormous guys on Friday and Saturday night. Our only kid who has a tough cut is PJ and frankly he didn't look a whole lot bigger than his opponents.

He made weight, our guys dint cut, there is a give and take. It can happen in the penn state room too if that's what "one" wanted, why not?

I helped at the winter special Olympics and did the same.

They said, great you could be the ref for the ice events.

I think they helped me get up off the ice more than I helped them .

I know this a lot more from the football angle, specifically because my stepdad is an assistant coach of a successful high school program. I believe it's now ~45 states that allow NIL for high school students, and I'm sure there's some backdoor stuff going on for the top recruits in the handful of states where it isn't allowed. Yes, there are teenagers out there - who have not enrolled in college - who are making more than you are in your career to play high school football and 7-on-7. I personally know a few of them.

I'd be curious how much of an issue it is in folkstyle wrestling.

How do you know how much I make?

You obviously don't know many people who work with special needs kids/adults. Nobody does it for attention or to be a "hero". Be better

Until now because of a ^^^ like you came along.

There are a lot of things to bust Corby's balls about. This isn't one of them.
