This church needs to be careful about excluding certain people.
They could lose their tax exempt status. A club can exclude someone. It isn't a sin to be mentally challenged.

I think that’s a good summery of the situation.

So many sensitive people on the internet lately. This is a very common problem in many autistic kids. There’s no comparison to NT’s. However he may have other things going on aside from autism. This label is getting thrown around way too much lately. Sure they can put a Depends on him. Doesn’t guarantee it will stay. He’s likely to rip it off & give it a fling. Issues with autistic kids are just not solved as easily as some people think.

It doesn’t appear his parents are making much effort to deal with his behavior. They excuse his behavior because he has a disability. Or so it appears from what we’ve heard so far.

Yours is the sensible and considerate decision...separate Masses. We did this for years when we had four children under six years of age. Let’s face it, families can’t all be together all of the time.

This woman is inconsiderate and self-centered. It’s really all about her, isn’t it?

It does appear to be that way. My guess is what the family needs is found in here somewhere

I found this in about a minute & I’m not even from Minnesota.

Aside from yelling, spitting on people, urinating in public, and getting into other people’s cars and revving their engines, he is no problem.

OH yes: and he runs fast knocking down those in his way...

normal 2 year old behavior...except he is 200 lb and six foot.

Parents were asked not to bring him, but they stood on their rights to put others in harms’ way.

Maybe because I spent 8 years working at an institution (when they still exisited) I can appreciate how dangerous these kids appear to others...even though those of us who worked with them know the behavior is harmless...usually...I’ve also seen a lot of our staff injured.
