Here's a posing question for you to open up som debate!!!!

What would you do if your autistic non verbal child makes his noises (quite lloud) in a resteraunt. I' m talking about humming and all the noises my nonverbal monster makes.

We cannot stop that in our son at all - it is part of his disability. We still eat in resteraunts with him alot although we choose our times - early when kiddos are still eating and romantic couples arn't wanting to have a romantic meal.

Just thought I'd share this. I was watching Fox News this morning andevidently there was a family in South Carolina who was in a restaurantwith their Autistic daughter. The little girl was having a cryingepisode and as the parents were trying to calm her down the Chief ofPolice yelled at them and then told them to leave. I was amazed.Anyway, there is a video on www.foxnews. com - just have a look aroundand you'll find it.

i am sorry i am not a parent of a special child, but i have never been one to worry about others. i believe the general public needs to be a lil more educated and special children deserve family time as much as any other

I completely agree with you we bring our son every where with us and yes the general public needs to be understanding. We love our children just as much as they love there kids.

Our daughter is very loud. We choose to only go to restaurants when it is slow or she is in a really great mood. We take her out of restaurant if she is way to loud or throwing a tantrum. we just learned not to go out to places that were not completly kid friendly which is what i did with my non autistic children. I do not want to hear it when I go out to eat why should I ask others to deal with it. there are many places our children can go and not cause a seen. a sit down restaurant is not one I choose to take her to often. we all have rights and all need education. Just being loud by humming is not a reason to not take them out, but yelling and meltdowns are a reason to remove them. just go at kid friendly times.

Being brought up properly I have been taught that you don't disturb the peace & quiet, or privacy of others. As one time I was in a restaurant in a corner booth with my husband. We were talking about a serious situation a family member was suffering when under the table came someones child....playing with my shoe laces. Trying to get this kid out from under the table became a circus show. Screaming & kicking caused my husband & my self to seek another table. That was OK until the child found us again....we were then forced to pack a doggie bag and take our cold food home, and we were still obligated to pay the $45.00 bill.

First of all my kids would never leave the table at a resturant. I was brought up properly also.

my son is very well behaved in a resturant i bring him a toy and I bring a snack from home to hold him over he also gets his food early. If he does get up set then yes i take him out. He has learned that when we are out he needs to be a good boy and he is for the most part. When he was a baby he would yell and flap his hands nonstop very loud but now that he is older he is doing well out in public. Life must go on even when living with Autism. Im glad we can discuss issues like this it's nice to know how other people feel.

>> Being brought up properly I have been taught that you don't disturb the peace & quiet, or privacy of others.

Respectfully---Webster's describes proper as this:

"Strictly accurate; correct; virtuous; respectable; strictly decorous; genteel."

I am with you, as there aren't many things worse than a screaming kid in a restaurant…but respect runs both ways—it is respectful when I offer someone grace…leeway, when I admit that I don't fully know all that is going on with a child and or a mom and dad's dealings with that child. I don't know the family dynamics …being proper is not strictly one sided, and is dependent on many varying situations. I do things my way (which is to leave the minute he makes a peep), as I said earlier others deal with things differently, and somehow I don't think that all those differences result in any one person being less "proper" than another…Human beings are too complex for that quick of an assessment. I think that offering Grace to someone is respectable, virtuous, genteel, strictly accurate, and also strictly decorous. Offering Grace and or leeway is saying, "I don't have all the answers." I'll never forget the day I had about 10 minutes to run through Wal-Mart…I had a window of opportunity to get milk and a couple more things…I had another child that needed to be picked up, and a traveling husband, and so many other constraints that it really was sort of now or never moment…my little man went ballistic, I was thinking, "ok, do I do this, or that…my heart was pounding, I didn't want to offend anyone…I was trying to calm him, as I knew my chance was not to get milk that he would want for later (he is 20 months)…I did my absolute best to get us out of the store quickly, --- another lady passed me down the isle, oh I would have given anything for a king face at the moment, just a little smile that said, "I've been there" even if she really had not! I got the total opposite, as she said, "doesn't his screaming bother you." Corn was almost thrown let me tell you…she was putting me down, and I was doing the BEST I knew how to do…I was raised properly…I set my table properly, I dress my kids properly, I talk properly, proper, proper, proper wasn't going to get me anywhere that day…Offering Grace is the proper thing to do most of the time…I work on this believe me…as I like my way a lot J And I love to be right, and also the most proper with regard to my child's behavior...But if I really take a step back and look at a situation, which I'm trying to do more now than ever…I do not have all the answers for a particular family----and sometimes I do need to just offer leeway and understanding and move on…sometimes that means spending money and being disappointed, and eating cold food…but things could be worse…
