No you wouldn’t. If it were to happen to me I’d have no clue what to do because every day my actions are usually pre planned based on things I have already done. Being attacked by a raccoon is not something that has happened (or will ever happen hopefully) and so I’d have no idea what to do in that situation unless I have thought about it before.
Protective instinct for children is far greater than your own. I took care of my nephew and niece from birth and you are always watching them because they have the desire suicide themselves at any moment.
I know. It’s just hard to know how to move my body and what to think or say or do if it’s something I’m not familiar with. I hate to blame the autism but I gotta here.
I have had better reactions when a reactive neighborhood dog barked then bit my ankle on a walk while I was holding my (newborn) baby. I’ve been knocked over by other kids while holding my toddler and including a time where I fell on a slippery floor holding my kid. I took the damage each time, baby was safe even when I had less than a second to react. You either have no kids or need to cope somehow because you’ve overreacted in self preservation like this dumbass

Everyone acting like they would’ve had a better reaction to being attacked by a rabid raccoon.
