Autistic boy banned from church
Autistic boy banned from church
13-year-old Adam Race and his family did not go to mass at the Church of St. Joseph Sunday morning like they usually do.
The Todd County Sheriff told Adam's mom if she did take him to St. Joseph's, she would be arrested. picked by dollyllama 2 years ago

« T1000 :

It kind of like the ladies who breastfeed their babies in church...What do you do? Who should be made uncomfortable? The woman because she has to go out in the lobby, or the people around her who may not want to see her breasts?
You're comparing apples to oranges here. A woman politely draping a blanket over her chest while she breastfeeds is nothing like a large boy urinating and pushing people around.

I always wonder why breasts make people so uncomfortable, but that belongs in another thread.

Breast feeding is just weird because breasts represent both nurturing, and a sex symbol in our society.

Mother of HFA daughter here.

If we put aside the fact that the word Autism is being used and look at it another way.

If you where in church and your baby started to cry inconsolably, would you just sit there with you baby in your arms and let him cry it out?

Or would you removed yourself and your child so that others could enjoy the service in peace?

There has been many of times in my life as a mom that I have had to leave church early, as well as restaurants, and other places where proper behavior is expected.

I would be mortified to be asked to leave from my parish because as a parent I was disrespectful of my fellows.

And that is really what it boils down to. I doubt anyone is blaming this family for having an Autistic child. It is the lack of respect they are showing the people around them.
