Autism, when parents were to blame / Autismo, quando os pais foram os culpados
Houve uma época negra em que psicólogos e médicos culpavam os pais, pois consideravam que eram os responsáveis pelos filhos serem autistas.
There was a dark time when psychologists and doctors blamed the parents, because they considered that they were responsible for their children being autistic.
Os pais recebiam a sentença de serem frios, distantes, e por isso teriam traumatizado os seus filhos.
Parents were sentenced to be cold, distant, and therefore they would have traumatized their children.
Um psicólogo em especial até mesmo pedia que as crianças, seus pacientes, batessem num boneco que representaria a mãe delas.
One psychologist in particular even asked the children, his patients, to hit a doll that represented their mother.
O objetivo era que as crianças descarregassem um suposto rancor daquelas que os profissionais da época chamavam de "MÂE GELADEIRA".
The goal was for the children to unload a supposed grudge against what the professionals at the time called the "ICE MOTHER".
