the mother didn't feel comfortable with me being in the centre and wouldn't leave their child here.

I'm in somewhat of a similar situation as you are. I'm a male BCBA and have been working with kids with autism for about 20 years. I have about 20 children ranging from 2-8 years old at my clinics. I'm married, and have children of my own, yet, I still get the occasional "I don't want you working alone with my son/daughter" (just yesterday I had a parent say that to me). Sadly, in the past five years I've had to call protective services to report abusive staff three times....all were for female staff members. I've never had to report a male.

I haven't seen a Burnt by the Sun reference on Reddit ever! I lived with Nick for a bit back in the late 90s. Great guy, awesome band!

There are other things that very few of us need but which one of us can bear (autism support).

If you aren't directly affected by autism, someone you know is. It's not very few of us any longer.
