...ANYONE insults or is rude to an autistic
individual or their family*. Especially in public. What most upset me
recently is to hear the story of a young man with autism ordering food
to go who was stimming as he waited for his order to be handed to him.
Another patron of the restaurant said, "I wish people would keep their
r****ds at home."
Why couldn't the rude patron see that he himself was just
as uncomfortable as the young man who was stimming, and see common
ground?
I imagine many of the people on this blog have similar
stories, but I am not so sure I'd want to hear them because they make me
so angry.
*(or anyone else who is rude in public, really...I have a
soft spot for wait-staff and I really can't stand people who are rude to
them.)
