To think it’s wrong of this man to film a child?

I can see why he filmed it but for it to be put on the net is too far! I feel quite sorry for the mother she must have felt mortified

Oh right Granny, that's good, hopefully if NT they grow out of it. Oh no Brothers, the same thing happened to us on a short haul flight a couple of years ago, we must have been the family from hell. I was so stressed I felt like taking a blooming valium and mogadon washed down with some stiff wisky. dd then 9 was fine, ds then 4, decided to wind dd up as he was bored (been through the i pad, colouring books, jigsaws, books etc), que meltdown and screaming on the plane like somebody was trying to strangle her. Thank god it was a 3 hour one and not an 8 hour.

This happened a few times throughout the flight, no bloody way for an 8 hour one.

The "autism screenings" at our local cinema are an excellent example of how different needs can clash. One group of children looking for a low sensory experience, another looking for a place to watch a film whilst still being able to talk/stim/move around. But at least people/businesses are trying to move towards inclusion. Just not got all the answers yet.

Our cinemas call them "relaxed screenings", ie lights on, noise and moving accepted. Ds likes them though is also fine in normal cinemas.
What I would love to see is a "strict behaviour screening" where rustling wrappers, playing on mobiles are banned and talking loudly gets you evicted sharpish.
Basically if you get a list of autistic traits, ds shows about a third of them to a noticeable degree and dss has the rest, including lack of tolerance of loud noise. Both are lovely boys with friends, doing well in mainstream schools, until something spooks them.

I think it would be more obvious with a non verbal 12 year old, the boy in the film looked to be 2 or 3?

Plenty of people seem unable to spot it in an adult so I wouldn’t hold your breath

TBH the proportion of wankers we came across in the general public was pretty much the same at 3 as it is at 18. Some people just are not very tolerant of disability (which is fine as I’m not very tolerant of them and would rather they stayed away from me & my family)

Devilishpyjamas some people will be idiots whatever happens, but there will be more people who understand I'm sure, they are just quietly getting on with life and less noticeable.

My favourite encounter with a SN adolescent was shopping in Woolworths one day, shows it was a while ago, there was music playing and a teenager with Downs came over and asked me to dance. We waltzed round the shop, I don't know who enjoyed me more and the applause at the end was nice. My dancing usually causes laughter rather than applause so it was a rather unique moment for me. His mother was trying to apologize but I told her I was honoured.

That should be enjoyed it more, enjoyed me more sounds very wrong!

Awww Granny,
