Yeah, we had to document everything. No one ever read them, because I had a coworker write the preamble to the Constituion as a log entry and no one said anything.Did you have to keep a tard log? Like a daily record of all the tarded shenanigans?
My brother worked as a tard wrangler for one summer when he was in college. He was assigned to a single tard, but the guy was a behemoth, he was rambunctious, and he had scary exceptional individual strength. My brother was a strapping boy so he got pitted against the leviathan, and it was basically Thunderdome rules.
They had a routine where my brother would wrestle the guy into the short bus van after breakfast and drive him around aimlessly for a few hours, because it was one of the few things that kept the turnip head docile. My brother would listen to Howard Stern on the radio, and his tard developed a habit of shouting "Bababooey! Bababooey!" constantly and it drove everybody at the tard hut crazy.
So yeah, my brother was required to keep a log of the daily activities of his tard, and, on Friday nights, a bunch of us would meet up at a bar, and my brother would regale us with readings from his tard log. It was hysterical. Episodes of public masturbation, pants pissing, "fecal smearing", "self harm", etc... but the "self harm" was mostly my brother's way of explaining away the bruises, because the scuffles to keep his tard under control would often necessitate full Nelsons, camel clutches, dropkicks, and figure 4 leglocks and the like.
We'd be laughing so hard at my brothers' Adventures of a Tard Wrangler stories at the bar that we'd often attract a crowd. Some nights there'd be like a crowd of upwards of a dozen people laughing themselves to tears at my brother's recounting of the week's tard malarkey.
Good times, good times.
No but I did lure someone back inside with a box of Twinkies.Did you ever have to use a lasso like a cowboy?
Guy in a wheelchair shat himself, and it overflowed his brief and got all over his wheelchair and the floor. Took me and the other staff member an hour to clean it up.What was the worst shit related incident you had to deal with?
All over the map, but I had several who were in their 40s.What was the general age range for the tards you had to take care of? Late teens? Early 20s? Older?
They all get put in group homes, which are modified to accommodate their needs. It's actually much easier to check on them in a group home. The facilites were all out in the stixs so the normal folks wouldn't be bothered.Where do profoundly exceptional people get put since the institutions closed?
A friend of mine worked for a while at a hospital unit which housed profoundly exceptional people. All of them were non-verbal, most required special diets, many were also blind and some had their teeth removed so they couldn't bite staff and other residents. A few years ago the decision was made to close the unit (it was on extremely valuable land) and move them to group homes. I often wonder how that turned out given how extremely high needs they were, but it's hard to see how their needs could be met outside an institutional setting.
Everyone we talk about here to my knowledge has a normal IQ (except ADF, I think his is in the 80s). People who don't have a full deck get a pass from some social conventions. Chris was coddled. ADF is a violent low-functioning psychopath. Kengle is a drama whore.@DrJonesHat
How much do you attribute the actions of some of our long-time lolcows (Chris, ADF, Kengel, etc) to ASD, versus to another source like personality flaws or external/learned behaviors? Are you more "forgiving" of anti-social behavior of people with developmental disabilities?
Worst tard moment? I can't pinpoint just one. Maybe the one who tried to get me fired for not giving him money (we weren't allowed to anyway).Worst tard moment ever?
What got you into that field anyways? I had a few career counselors try to nudge me in that field of study until I politely told them to fuck off, I’m not interested.
I tried to cheer up a client by dancing, and it's simply not my gift. She fell off the couch laughing at me, and my boss (who was black) said "DrJonesHat, you're a nice guy, but you are really white." Trurer words were never spoken.What was one moment on the job that made you laugh your ass off?
The ones who were just fleshsacks yes. They had no awareness and never did. There was no person there. The ones who could talk and move around were people, just like us. I took it personally when someone insulted them for things beyond their control.Did you ever think maybe the nazis were on to something for wanting to gas them?
