We are part of the local motorbike scene, we go to a lot of the rallies and the kids always enjoy looking at the bikes.

There is one that we cannot go to, because they don't allow cars. You have to arrive on a motorbike. The only cars that are allowed are those who have a blue badge.

My ds is disabled, He has Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing disorder and severe dyspraxia. He gets Higher Care and Lower Mobility DLA, there is absolutely NO way we can go to this rally because of their refusal to accept cars.

Its been suggested we use a side car. You CANT put an autistic child in a fucking side car.

I have told them that they're breaking the law with regards to access and disability discrimination, because not all disabilities require a blue badge, but it doesn't mean the person is able to get about on a fucking motorbike.

That's bollocks. My friend's autistic DS loves going in his granddad's Steib chair. Everybody is different. I could put one of my dc in a sidey, but not the other two.

Suggestion

Can you put an add saying you and your son would like a lift in a car there and back on their social media

I am sure someone would offer you a lift and may be VIP access to have photos with visiting celebs or heads of the biker groups

No harm in asking ?

or

If your son cannot attend the rally, can some of the bikers come to visit you and your son or do a ride past where you live, with a wave. You could take some photos
Perhaps you could ask about a ride past ?
