There is...A friend has a child with severe autism. There isn't much support in our state for families dealing with this. It's been so hard on them. They have to keep locks on all the windows and doors to keep him from escaping cuz he'll walk miles down the middle of the road. The mother is deaf and can't always hear him when he's climbing around. Occasionally he has gotten out through a crawl space. Neighbors think they're weird of course, so they've been reported to CPS more than once. Luckily authorities understand the problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854575870070704513.post-79951712601669709202008-09-24T17:10:00.000-04:002008-09-24T17:10:00.000-04:00Thanks and Hugs. :-)White GhostThanks and Hugs. :-)<BR/><BR/>White GhostAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854575870070704513.post-42666261299122290652008-09-24T16:00:00.000-04:002008-09-24T16:00:00.000-04:00White Ghost and Jodi ..I am sorry you had to witne...White Ghost and Jodi ..<BR/><BR/>I am sorry you had to witness that exchange.<BR/><BR/>My apologies.<BR/><BR/>:o)<BR/><BR/>PaotieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854575870070704513.post-52945101536905784762008-09-24T15:42:00.000-04:002008-09-24T15:42:00.000-04:00*smile**smile*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11437710259566671762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854575870070704513.post-60365385532484851222008-09-24T13:24:00.000-04:002008-09-24T13:24:00.000-04:00White Ghost,Hi sweetheart.

Many people don't realize these kids have disorders. They see a kid out of control and they immediately think a spoiled bratty kid who needs to be disciplined, and of course they blame the parent. They don't automatically think that the kid may be handicapped. <BR/><BR/>But other than that, what you said is often true. I remember a story where a woman repelled at the presence of a small child with severe cp eating in a restaurant, actually walked to the manager and demanded that the child be removed from the site. Can you believe the audacity of that slimebag? The manager refused, stating that the child has every right to be there. Do you know what happened? The other customers actually clapped and the enraged woman stormed out of the restaurant. I would think it's a minority who feels this way while the majority feels compassionate. <BR/><BR/>Oh, by the way, yes a parent with an austistic kid should be using a special pass. In fact, it is strongly recommended. The austistic kids have a very low tolerance for frustration and exposure to too much stimulations.mishkazenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07714824721166601510noreply@blogger.com
