Sounds like that shite is none of your business. Or that of your neighbors who “damn near had to kick the door down”. Maybe the parents aren’t concerned about it. You definitely should not be. You sound really fookin nosy.

Have you ever been a caregiver to someone who is in an unreasonable condition?
I have witnessed this a few times in my life and cannot see judging the people who are struggling with this situation.

And what's the deal with parents of autistic children leaving them unsupervised in upstairs rooms?

We have two "developmentally disabled" kids on my cul-de-sac of a dozen houses. Moms were both older and already had middle/high school aged kids. Back in the 80s, I'd hear that the older a mother was the more chances there'd be an issue with a child, women over 35 were "discouraged" from having kids. Now it's not unusual for 40 year old women to have kids, don't know if there's a scientific correlation though.

One day he will do that with the wrong person. Especially once he grows older. Then his parents can cry on TV.

For Down's, there absolutely is a scientific correlation. But autism, I think that term is still fluid and encapsulates any kid who is "weird".

Are you sure it wasn’t a window jamb?

Maybe not to label all weird kids. I believe there are some, but that the diagnosis is tossed out too much. All I see on fb is autism hitting my page. It’s the fad now. Like adhd 30 years ago.

I have an autistic 5 year old. He is incredibly smart but is fearless about things he should be afraid of. He will climb on the roof if he can find a way. He has no fear of water. He doesn’t seem to feel pain like normal people. Our property is like a medium security prison with all the fences and locks on everything.
My greatest anxiety is that I know one day he will be big enough that I won’t be able to contain him. My hope is that when that time comes he will be far enough along that he will be able to survive the world (like don’t get hit by a car, don’t jump off the roof etc.)
It’s no way to live I assure you.

OP must be autistic to be fixated on such a specific thing

Mine is fearless of things that can actually hurt him and terrified of harmless things.
My guy cannot be contained. At 4 years old it took him half a day to figure out how to defeat an interior door lock. I put slide locks at the top of the door and he would either use a broom handle or make a ladder to reach it.
He is absolutely exhausting. Every waking moment...non stop. Just got to do the best ya can.

Sounds like we have an ABA therapist here. A coach, if you will.
Can I suggest that you get the dad’s phone number and call/text if the kid is in danger or running around the neighborhood?
