Severe Autism Meltdown. Mother Attempts to Restrain Autistic Daughter from Self-Injury (Video - English)

This is an example of Isabella headed toward a complete Meltdown. This is after all soothing and comfort measures have been tried, the only thing left is to restrain the child from self-injurious behavior. It's utter torment to a Mother's heart and soul. Things I do while restraining her. PRAY. SING. Try to distract her into spinning or anything else that helps. The bigger she gets the harder it is to control her. Your arms wear out quick and she'll bust your lip, nose, etc. I won't be outdone, though, I'll become a body-builder first.
