Not everyone can do anything they want

This is really easy. If you have a handicap (or are challenged - whatever you want to call it) you cannot do everything; you cannot do anything you want to either. A blind person can climb Mt. Everest but they cannot be an infantry soldier. They cannot be an airline pilot. They do have limitations. Autistic children do have limitations also. Children with no arms have limitations. Sorry, that is the way it is. That’s life. C’est la vie.

If you have an autistic child it is selfish of you and totally unreasonable to expect them to be mainstreamed or whatever at the expense of slowing down other children or causing problems for others. It does not matter that a liberal, PC court might say it is ok - just use your head. Yes, they have rights but other people also have rights.

Case in point . . . Priest Bans Autistic Boy From Church (sounds bad the way they wrote that - actually, the court issued a restraining order so it should say, Court Bans Autistic Boy . . .)

According to the Priest, “Adam struck a child during mass, nearly knocks elderly parishioners over when he hastily exits the church, spits and sometimes urinates in church and fights when he is being restrained.

Although Adam is only 13, he stands taller than six feet and weighs more than 225 pounds.

He also one time assaulted a girl by pulling her onto his lap and, during Easter mass, ran to the parking lot and got into two vehicles, starting them and revving the engine, Walz alleged.

“There were people directly in front of the car who could have been injured or killed if he had put the car in gear,” Walz wrote.

Adam’s mother, Carol Race says, “”The church isn’t bad,” she said. “But it’s what some individuals do within the church.” Exactly Mrs. Race, you nailed it on the head. Both you and Walz, who apparently exaggerates, need to compromise.
