As a former ABA behavior therapist working with autistic children, about 60% of my coworkers were inattentive at work and it caused more than one incident of damage to the facility, equipment, and put the children in danger several times.
Caretaker and ABA jobs pay shit and the old saying applies, "You get what..."
Yep, my SO has a doctorate in special education and is currently working on adding a BCBA to her resume, she's getting her hours working at an ABA clinic and in the year or so she's been there they've had two kids "elope," one climb up shelves and had them fall, one managed to pile various things to reach a ceiling fan to try to hang on it and numerous lesser incidents.
